Vintner's Reserve

2008 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2008 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a splendid representation of Sonoma County's rich vinicultural landscape. This deep red wine captivates with its full-bodied structure, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel that envelops the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the fruit intensity that showcases prominent notes of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak from careful aging. Tannins are firm yet refined, adding a robust backbone to the wine that enhances its aging potential. Although it has a touch of residual sugar, the overall profile leans toward being dry, making it an excellent choice to pair with hearty dishes or to enjoy on its own. This wine reflects the thoughtfulness and craftsmanship characteristic of Kendall-Jackson, inviting enthusiasts to savor each sip.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
