✨ Technical Specifications
The Jackson Hills Cabernet Sauvignon represents Kendall-Jackson's dedication to the rugged, high-elevation terrains of California's premier coastal ridges. Sourced primarily from mountain and hillside vineyards in Sonoma County, this wine captures the dramatic intensity of vines forced to struggle in thin, rocky soils. The high-altitude exposure provides warm daytime sun and cool nightly breezes, resulting in small, thick-skinned berries with concentrated flavors and robust, structured tannins. Traditionally aged in French oak barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a deep, complex character with notes of dark blackberry, cassis, and subtle graphite, reflecting the wild, untamed spirit of California's hillside viticulture.
🍾 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.
