Kendall Jackson Vintner Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has aged 16 months in French (69%) oak barrels, American (30%) oak barrels, and stainless steel. 89% Sonoma County, 8% Mendocino County, 3% Napa Valley. Artisan winemaking techniques, such as cold soaking and extending maceration were used to enhance and simultaneously soften the tannins, deepen the color and intensify the flavors. 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. Goes well with rib-eye steak and lasagnas.
