    Wine Spectator’s editors have selected this wine as the best buy of the week.

    HOGUE

    Syrah Columbia Valley Genesis 2007 (90 points)

    Smooth and velvety, delivering a warm, inviting mouthful of blueberry, plum, coffee and spice flavors that linger against refined tannins. Drink now through 2015. 6,676 cases made. From Washington.

    Robert Parker gives the 2008 Kendall-Jackson “Vintner’s Reserve” Chardonnay

    89 Points

    “There are over 2 million cases of the 2008 Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, all 100% barrel fermented Chardonnay from Jess Jackson’s own estate vineyards. This wine displays plenty of tropical fruit, lemon butter, and citrus in a fresh, lively style, with the wood clearly pushed to the background. Hats off to winemaker Randy Ullom, who has been behind this massive winemaking task for many years. This is another hugely successful wine that can be found discounted in the $10-12 range, and should be drunk over the next year. The lowest level of the Kendall-Jackson empire, the Vintner’s Reserve series, goes from strength to strength. For consumers hoping to maximize their dollar value, these serious wines are consistent choices. Their Chardonnay has always been good, but dramatic increases in quality have taken place in the Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon programs.”
