The Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2013 vintage is a stunning expression of Sonoma County's rich terroir. This red wine features a full-bodied profile that is complemented by its high acidity, making it incredibly vibrant and lively on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, showcasing lush notes of black cherry, blackberry, and hints of plum, which create a delightful depth. With firm tannins present, it exhibits a long, structured finish that adds to its complexity, all while maintaining a dryness that enhances its food-friendly appeal. This wine is a dazzling example of the craftsmanship that has made Sonoma County renowned in the wine world.

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.
