Vintner's Reserve Special Select

2008 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

The Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2008 vintage showcases the richness and complexity of Sonoma County's terroir. This red wine presents a full-bodied experience, beautifully balanced by its vibrant acidity that brings a lively character to the palate. Fruity notes are prominent, with luscious flavors of blackcurrant and dark cherry harmonizing seamlessly with hints of vanilla and oak derived from time in barrel. The tannins are structured yet smooth, offering a velvety mouthfeel that invites you to savor each sip. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes, making it a fantastic choice for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment.

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.
