點擊次數：3645

The 2010 Pinot Noir Los Robles, from a vineyard in Santa Barbara, emerges from the glass with black cherries, earthiness, spices and tar. Today it comes across as a bit heavy-handed. It is one of the very few new releases from Kendall-Jackson that underperforms relative to its price point. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. I must say I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Kendall-Jackson. Qualitatively the wine are head and shoulders above the vast majority of what is available in the same price points, but what amazes me most is Kendall-Jackson’s ability to achieve such a high average level of quality with production levels that are truly eye-popping. In 2010, which was not an abundant year, Kendall-Jackson produced nearly 2,000,000 cases of the flagship Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay. This is a brilliant showing from winemaker Randy Ullom and his team comprised of Matthew Smith (reds) and Mark Theis (whites).Tel. (800) 769-3649; www.kj.com
