The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Hawkeye Mountain is a cool, introspective wine. Dark red fruit, mocha, crushed flowers, graphite, licorice and spices wrap around the intense, palate staining finish. The Hawkeye Mountain is all about finesse. I especially like the way the wine continues to put on weight with time in the glass. The 2009 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the northern part of Alexander Mountain Estate Vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. 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
