Natalie's Score: 90/100

This Californian red wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Sonoma, mostly Knights Valley. It's actually a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, and a splash of Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The wine was matured in French oak barrels mostly, with a few American oak barrels. Such an elegant, yet expressive Californian Cabernet on the nose. Aromas of blackcurrant cassis mingle with dried herbs and cigar box. The palate opens to layers of dark fruit anise and smoke. Terrific balance, depth and length with a dry finish. Pair with filet mignon or lamb with rosemary.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: lamb, pork tenderloin, pepper steak, hamburgers, cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve 2014 is and elegant and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County. Deep ruby-purple in the glass, this is a lush blackberry, anise and smoky-flavoured red with rich textures on the mid-palate. Decant for two hours prior to pouring with a filet mignon now, or hold in cellar for five years. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
