Medium gold in color, heavy aromas of butter, vanilla due to lees stirring. Apricot, melon, and green apple smell are also present. Medium body, fruit driven taste on palate with touch of almond, vanilla, milky and buttery flavor. Medium-low acidity in mouth due to MLC, medium finish, good balance for the price. Typical Kendall Jackson wine, if you like it you like it.

With 9 years of aging, wine shows tawny in color. On the nose there is clear ripen raspberry, cherry and black plum aromas. Slight tertiary notes of leather and mushroom. Wood is noticeable but not overwhelming. On the palate it is heavily fruit driven, very ripened red and black fruit, follow by touches of mushrooms and earthiness. Tannins are definitely present and grippy. Medium finish, medium to high in acidity. Overall a very nice wine under $15

Wine consists a balanced of grape from Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Auxerrois. Light ruby in color, medium intensity in nose with aromas of strawberry and red cherry, slight floral characteristics and touch of smoke from the partial barrel aging. On the palate it's light, almost watery with red fruit characteristics, followed by minerality and earthiness in the finish. Wine is not intense, decently balance, medium-high in alcohol, medium finish.
