This latest addition from Kendall Jackson is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from Sonoma Country. Kendall Jackson sought out the very best grapes. The wine is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, supplemented with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. For this Vintner's Reserve, the winery used a perfect vineyard in Sonoma Country. Here, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are hand-harvested and then aged in French and American oak barrels. This gives it a wealth of flavors and a full, powerful attack. After this long fifteen-month period, it's ready to be poured, and that's a real treat.
Kendall Jackson from California
This Cabernet Sauvignon is marketed by Jackson Family Wines in California. The Kendall-Jackson family culture is based on proven principles: hard work and integrity. Great wines can only be made from the finest fruit. And this fruit thrives in an exceptional, natural environment. Sonoma Country, for example, enjoys cool nights and low daytime heat thanks to the fog that creeps from the ocean into the interior valley. This results in top-quality grapes.
Kendall-Jackson's entire production process is carried out with respect for nature. The winery uses alternative methods to minimize chemical pesticides. Rainwater is collected in reservoirs to irrigate crops, and packaging and promotional materials are recycled. All Kendall-Jackson wines have a global reputation and are leading brands in the American wine market.
The aroma and taste of the Cabernet Sauvignon
The Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich aromas of black fruit, chocolate, spice, vanilla, and oak. The palate of this Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve is intense and rounded with plenty of richness, beautiful nuances of fruit, spice, and cedar. The long finish reveals notes of cedar and vanilla. In short: a wonderfully full-bodied wine that pairs perfectly with red meat, lamb, and game dishes.
