Kendall Jackson Cab/Sau Vnt Rs

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Kendall Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner’s Reserve wraps you in a plush embrace of black cherry and cassis, laced with subtle notes of toasted oak and mocha that linger on the palate. Crafted in the United States, this wine showcases the classic depth and structure expected from California Cabernets, with an alcohol by volume of 13.50%. Its bold tannins and vibrant acidity make it a natural companion for a perfectly seared steak or a wedge of aged cheddar, elevating each bite with its rich fruit core and hints of vanilla spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon is more than just a drink—it’s an invitation to savor life’s fuller moments alongside great food and even better company.

Producer Information: Kendall-Jackson

Kendall-Jackson, rooted in Sonoma County, California, was founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson with a vision to craft premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The winery quickly gained attention for its Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, which showcased a signature style of balanced richness and vibrant fruit character achieved through meticulous vineyard selection and barrel fermentation. Emphasizing sustainable farming practices and estate-grown grapes from cool coastal vineyards across Mendocino, Monterey, Santa Barbara, and Sonoma counties, Kendall-Jackson has built a reputation for consistency and quality within the California wine category. Beyond their flagship Chardonnay, they produce notable Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir expressions as well as limited-release single-vineyard bottlings that highlight specific microclimates. While their primary focus remains on wine production rather than spirits or other beverages, Kendall-Jackson’s commitment to site-driven winemaking continues to shape their identity within the American viticultural landscape.
