For over three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessly committed to producing only the finest quality wines from grapes grown in California’s cool, coastal vineyards. The winery carefully matches climates and soil types for each grape varietal, then guides each vineyard lot throughout the entire winemaking process. This proprietary approach to winemaking has earned Kendall-Jackson its world-renowned reputation for wines that consistently exhibit signature rich layers of flavour combined with delicate balance.

The fruit is whole-cluster pressed to retain fresh fruit qualities. The wine is aged for five months in French oak (4.5% new) and American oak (7% new), with sur lie ageing and monthly bâtonnage to build a velvety, silky texture and creamy flavour.
