"9% Zinfandel; 4% Grenache. There is always a question about consistency when a wine is made in large lots, but our sample of Kendall-Jackson's everyday-priced Syrah shows a professional hand with respect to composition and well-defined fruit. Fairly deep, nicely balanced and not so tannic as to preclude drinking now, it is a downright steal at the price. GOOD VALUE ." 87 points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, November 2008
"This softly appealing Syrah has pie-filling flavors of cherries and blackberries, with cinnamon spice, brown sugar and baked crust overtones. It's a dry, interesting wine that belies its everyday price." 86 points - Wine Enthusiast, November 1, 2008 |
