Kendall-Jackson Summation 2009 (about $15)



About the Wine:  Kendall-Jackson (KJ) is one of the staples of the wine business.  They are an iconic maker with multiple lines of products that can be found in almost any wine shop.  This is a lot less obscure than many of the wines I write about but even mainstream producers occasionally make something worthwhile.

About THIS Wine:  The dark red center fades to a pink rim.  Smoke, oak, and red fruit make up a pleasant nose that delivers in a jammy, oaky palate with hints of red licorice and just a touch of sweetness.  Spicy red fruit lingers in the finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This would work as a sipping wine but it is ideal for pasta with red sauce.

Overall Impression:  This is a good wine and the price is not excessive.  Summation is a good for the price.
