Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Pinot Noir

A touch of the California coast captured in a bottle. The Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir is the perfect example of how the terroir of the Coastal Vineyards can give a wine its distinctive character. Think cool breezes, salty air, and rich soil—all these elements come together to create this vibrant Pinot Noir, rich with crisp acidity and perfectly ripened tannins.

The Careful Selection: Where the Magic Begins

Every grape in this bottle has a story to tell. Carefully hand-picked, these fruits hail from some of the most prestigious counties: Sonoma, Monterey, and Mendocino. Here, where nights are cool and days rarely scorching, the mist plays a veiled game, winding its way from the ocean to the interior valley. Combined with the refreshing winds, this creates a microclimate where the grapes slowly ripen, preserving their essential aromas for a sensational tasting experience. With over two decades of expertise in California winemaking, Kendall-Jackson understands the importance of the interplay between climate and terroir. Every aspect of the vineyard is analyzed to ensure the grapes thrive in optimal conditions. And their global reputation? It's no coincidence. The careful location of their vineyards, particularly in California's cool coastal regions, provides the grapes with ideal conditions to develop. This creates a wine that truly reflects the team's hard work and passion.

Rich Refinement: The Taste of Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir

A meticulous aging process has ensured that this Pinot Noir distinguishes itself. Seven months in primarily French oak barrels imparts subtle notes of toast, vanilla, and cedar. But it's the 6% aged in American barrels that adds complexity and depth. From the first sip, you're greeted by overwhelming aromas: a combination of red and black fruit, hints of vanilla, and coffee, complemented by an intriguingly smoky finish. This isn't just any wine; it's the Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir, an ode to California's finesse and craftsmanship.
