Winemakers comments
For over three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessy committed to producing only the finest quality wines from grapes grown in California's cool, coastal vineyards. We carefully match climates and soil types for each grape varietal, and then guide each vineyard lot throughout the entire winemaking process. Our proprietary approach to winemaking has earned us our world-renowned reputation for wines that consistently exhibit our signature rich layers of flavour, combined with delicate balance.

Vinification
Cabernet Sauvignon lots are blended with Cabernet Franc for tannins, Petit Verdot to enhance the mouthfeel, and Malbec for roundness. Artisan winemaking techniques, such as cold soaking and extending maceration were used to enhance and simultaneously soften the tannins, deepen the colour and intensify the flavours.

Maturation
10 months in 69% French oak barrels (8% new) and 31% American oak (7% new).
