✨ Technical Specifications
The Kendall-Jackson Avant Cabernet Sauvignon represents a modern, vibrant evolution in California winemaking, designed to showcase the pure, bright fruit character of the grape with minimal oak intervention. 'Avant'—meaning forward or before—alludes to this fresh, fruit-first philosophy. Sourced from select cool-climate coastal vineyards across California, the wine undergoes a precise fermentation process, utilizing a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels to preserve its lively acidity and expressive berry notes. This approach offers a contemporary alternative to the traditionally heavy, highly-oaked California Cabernets, delivering an approachable, smooth, and highly versatile red wine that celebrates the natural terroir of the Golden State.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1982 by visionary entrepreneur Jess Jackson, Kendall-Jackson emerged as a cornerstone of modern American winemaking with the debut of its iconic 1982 Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay. Headquartered in Santa Rosa within Sonoma County, the family-owned estate champions cool-climate, coastal vineyard sites across California's premier winegrowing regions. Guided by an uncompromising dedication to sustainable farming, artisanal small-batch fermentation, and tailored French and American oak aging, the winery captures rich complexity and approachable elegance. Beyond its world-famous Chardonnay, Kendall-Jackson produces highly acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and terroir-expressive Grand Reserve collections that highlight the diversity of California's coastal terroir.
