1998 Kendall Jackson "Vintner's Reserve" California Cabernet Sauvignon
Quantity: 1
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: Purchased directly from the winery or retailer on release and stored in the temperature controlled cellar of a Northern California collector.
Label Condition: Nicked Label, Lightly Scuffed Label
Part of Kendall-Jackson's Vintner's Reserve tier, this Cabernet is labeled California rather than a single AVA, reflecting fruit sourced across the state's vineyard regions. The 1998 vintage followed a cool, El Niño-influenced growing season in California, generally a more challenging year for red wines than 1997.

Wine Enthusiast
“Darker than the Alexander Valley bottling, and richer in fruit, with powerful black currants blasting from the glass. The structure is better, too, with beautiful Napa tannins that have the deceptive simplicy of the Bauhaus. A notable success for the vintage. (SH)” (12/2002)
N/A
Wine Advocate
“Although made in a light, lean style, the 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Great Estates Napa offers blueberry, camphor, and black currant fruit, medium body, and Bordeaux-like weight. (RP)” (12/2000)
N/A
Wine Spectator
“Serves up a lot of flavor, with mocha-laced currant and black cherry fruit that's sweet tasting and supple, before firming and flexing its tannic muscles on the finish. (JL)” (10/2002)

“Full ruby-red. Plum, black cherry, cassis, tar, bitter chocolate and a leathery note on the slightly dusty nose. Sweet and solid, with good texture and fruit concentration. Comes across as much riper than this producer's '99 Grand Reserve merlot. Firm, dusty tannins and a solid core of acidity give this wine the structure to evolve in bottle. (ST)” (05/2002)
