Kendall-Jackson's Avant Red Blend represents a modern, expressive approach to California winemaking, designed to be vibrant, fruit-forward, and immediately accessible. The name 'Avant' hints at its avant-garde, contemporary style, breaking away from heavily oaked, traditional California reds. Sourced from cool coastal vineyards across California, this blend is crafted to showcase fresh, bright fruit flavors. Winemakers utilize a combination of stainless steel fermentation and neutral oak aging to preserve the primary fruit characters of dark berries, plum, and subtle spice. This approach highlights the diverse terroir of California's coastal regions, offering a smooth, velvety texture and an approachable profile that appeals to both novice wine lovers and seasoned enthusiasts looking for an everyday red.
