For over three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessly committed to producing only the finest quality wines from grapes grown in California’s cool, coastal vineyards. We carefully match climates and soil types for each grape varietal, and then guide each vineyard lot throughout the entire winemaking process.
KEY POINTS
Cabernet Sauvignon lots are blended with Merlot for softness, Cabernet Franc for tannins, and Petit Verdot to enhance the mouthfeel, Malbec for roundness.
Sonoma County mountain and hillside vineyards add black cherry flavors and superb wine structure.
Mendocino County mountain vineyards impart blackberry and mocha flavors.
Artisan winemaking techniques, such as cold soaking and extending maceratio were used to enhance and simultaneously soften the tannins, deepen the color and intensify the flavors.
TASTING NOTES
“Aromas of lush, bright black cherry, blackberry and cassis draw you in. Round, rich, seamless tannins provide a robust backbone and supple mid-palate. Notes of cedar, vanilla and a hint of mocha linger on the finish.”
