Background

Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California’s cool coastal regions, fruit with a variety of outstanding flavours. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding “cuvée” that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavourful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines that represented the full potential of California’s finest vineyards and winemaking. Today, over 5,000 acres of mountain and hillside vineyards in California’s coastal regions are farmed by Kendall-Jackson. Four separate wineries house what is possibly the single largest barrel-fermentation project in the world. But perhaps most important, Kendall-Jackson remains a family-owned winery.

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.
