✨ Technical Specifications
Perched high in the rugged, cool-climate heights of the Anderson Valley, the Sable Mountain Vineyard is one of Kendall-Jackson’s most dramatic estate sites. Rising up to 2,000 feet above sea level, this mountain vineyard sits above the fog line, basking in intense daytime sun while being cooled by brisk coastal breezes at night. This extreme diurnal temperature swing allows the Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, retaining a vibrant, laser-like acidity alongside concentrated fruit flavors. The Jackson Estate Sable Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay is a masterclass in cool-climate viticulture, typically barrel-fermented and aged on its lees in French oak to impart a luxurious, creamy texture that beautifully balances the wine's natural mineral drive and crisp green apple and citrus notes.
🍾 About the Producer

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.
