Grand Reserve Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma County, California, USA
In 1983 K-J introduced Grand Reserve, a line of premium wines. Dark inky color with aromas of dark fruits and pepper spice. The wine has small amounts of Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec in the blend. On the palate plum and tart cherry with cacao and oak. Rustic tannins, medium finish ending with slight fruit tones. Ok, but I’m not a fan, several others in similar price range are better. Tasting Sample.

smooth for all and very gentle taste as no meal is needed with this. Finish is as fresh juice.

Not so good when I opened bottle. But became excellent after few hours.
Even greater next day.
Very good balance. Deep taste.
