Kendall-Jackson White Summation Vintner's Reserve 2013

This beautifully fruit-forward, layered wine is rich, complex and offers a sumptuous texture. This is a great example of the 2013 vintage and all of its glory. It has spiciness from the Zinfandel,fresh, lush red fruit and dark, red fruit tones from the Syrah, with a kiss of chocolate from the Merlot. Sumptuous tannins from the Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache envelope the mouth and linger beyond each sip, and a smile is brought to one’s face.

A big, bold wine that also tastes precise and structured, it has deep, dense fruit flavors like black currant and black cherry, layers of fine tannins, hints of dark chocolate and espresso. This is a great wine to stash in the cellar, as it will taste best after 2020.
