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.
