Kendall-Jackson Zinfandel Vintner’s Reserve California 2022 – power and Californian charm

Want a Zinfandel from California that combines power, character and true West Coast vibe? Then the Kendall-Jackson Zinfandel Vintner’s Reserve 2022 is an obvious choice. You’ll find sun-ripened fruit, silky smooth texture and well-balanced barrel from one of America’s most recognized wineries.

This California red wine captures the essence of coastal vineyards, where cool ocean breezes and sunshine produce grapes with both ripeness and freshness. The grapes are harvested by hand from Kendall-Jackson’s own fields in the cool areas along the California coast. Only the most aromatic and perfectly ripe bunches are selected, and in the cellar, the house’s experienced winemakers work with respect for both terroir and tradition.

The wine is aged in small French and American oak barrels – only 11% new barrels. This gives structure and depth without overpowering the generous fruit. The result is a harmonious and charming Zinfandel with warmth, richness and elegance. A wine that impresses – and invites you to have another glass.

History of the house

Kendall-Jackson was founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson with a vision to create quality wines that would both excite connoisseurs and be accessible to all wine lovers. Success came quickly with the Vintner’s Reserve range, which is now the house signature.

All grapes are grown on estate vineyards in California, where the combination of cool climate and rich sunshine produces wines with freshness, balance and depth. The philosophy lives on: wines that impress the first time – and every time thereafter.
