Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Full-bodied Cabernet from California that shows why Kendall-Jackson has been one of the best-selling wineries in the USA for decades — accessible, but with a real backbone.

The winery was founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson in Sonoma County. For the Vintner's Reserve, grapes from several Californian growing regions are assembled — Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake County — which ensures a stable, characterful line for the wine year after year.

In the glass, deep ruby red. On the nose, black cherry, blackberry, and cassis, underpinned by cedar wood and a hint of mocha. On the palate, medium to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a clear structure. The finish shows subtle vanilla notes — a hint of the maturation in American and French oak.
