I received as a present from a friend in US this wine:
kendall jackson Merlot Gran Reserve 2003
Any comment? To be cellared or drank?
Thanks.
Francesco

Kendall Jackson is mass produced, generic quality. The merlot is not for a refined palate accustomed to Right Bank Bordeaux.
This wine is released ready to drink and it will not age. It is probably close to expired. Open soon.

From the
K-J website, this is their second level of four levels, but they don't have a Merlot in their top level wines. It has won some awards. Post a WTN when you can.
