Kendall-Jackson Pinot Noir Vintner’s Reserve Californien 2023

Experience the essence of Californian elegance with Kendall-Jackson Pinot Noir Vintner’s Reserve 2023 — a wine that captures the warmth of the sun, the cool ocean breeze, and the passion that for decades has made Kendall-Jackson one of America’s most acclaimed wineries.

This Pinot Noir is crafted for those who appreciate balance, finesse, and depth. It seduces both nose and palate with its silky texture and rich, nuanced expression.

Each grape is hand-picked from Kendall-Jackson’s own vineyards along the California coast. Here, the sunny days and cool nights create ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from the renowned regions of Sonoma and Monterey, where the climate produces wines with freshness, intense aroma, and elegant structure.

The result is a wine of harmony and character — crafted by a passionate team of winemakers who master the art of highlighting the grape’s natural finesse.

After harvest, the wine is partially aged in French oak barrels, adding subtle notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of spice. Combined with the wine’s vibrant fruit character, this creates a beautifully balanced profile. This Pinot Noir is perfect for cozy evenings or gourmet dinners — enjoy it with duck, lamb, veal, or simply a glass in good company.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine appears deep garnet red. The aroma opens with juicy cherries, ripe strawberries, and fresh raspberries, followed by elegant hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and lightly toasted oak.

On the palate, it is velvety and rounded, with ripe tannins and a harmonious, lingering finish. A wine of intensity, finesse, and balance — classic Californian Pinot Noir at its best.
