Wine sensory gardens an experience for the nose

Mar 20, 2011

FULTON, Calif. — Imagine a garden where melon, peach, apple, lemon, pear and gardenias bloom. Then imagine holding all that in a glass. That’s the theory behind wine sensory gardens, featuring plants commonly smelled and tasted in wine. Take a stroll through the neatly laid out cabernet-merlot corner of the red wine garden at the Kendall-Jackson Wine Center in Sonoma County and you encounter things you expect to find, like black cherry and black currant. And there are a few you might not expect, like oregano and bell pepper, which also can be picked up in some reds.
