Mission Codename The Overdeliverer
Don’t let the name fool you - today’s Kendall-Jackson Vineyard Estates 2011 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the real deal. We were a little bit more than surprised ourselves with just how much we loved today’s wine.
The Grand Reserve label represents the tippy-top of the KJ winemaking world, and is a true representation of their internal mantra: artisanal winemaking on a grand scale. Utilizing only the top 5% of grapes, handcrafted with care, then aged in 100% French Oak (KJ is the largest consumer of French Oak in the world), today’s wine stands up to any $80 Napa Cab put next to it. In fact, today’s wine routinely beats out higher priced competition in blind tastings again and again.
Don’t miss out on today’s underpriced and overdelivering gem - this is one to stock up on!
