Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2012-2024, Robert Parker, Feb 2011
Composed of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Malbec aged 19 months in French oak (47% new), the 2008 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon displays an inky/purple color as well as abundant aromas of creme de cassis, camphor, tobacco leaf, licorice and background smoky oak. This rich, full-bodied Cabernet admirably showcases the potential for rich, layered, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age and should keep for at least 12 years. Kendall-Jackson enjoys a well-deserved reputation for over-delivering quality vis a vis price for its wines. Tel. (800) 769-3649; www.kj.com
