Experience the essence of Californian wine magic in a glass filled with sun, sea breeze and passion. This wine captures all the best of America’s West Coast – created by one of the country’s most recognized wineries. Every drop is a tribute to craft, nature and tradition.

The grapes are harvested by hand from Kendall-Jackson’s own vineyards in the cool coastal regions of California. Only the ripest and most aromatic bunches are selected. In the winery, the house’s experienced winemakers work with precision and respect for nature. The result is a harmonious blend with power, elegance and finesse.

The wine is aged in small French and American oak barrels – only 11% new. This gives depth and structure without overpowering the fruit. This Zinfandel is warm, generous and full of charm. It’s perfect for cozy dinners or a glass in good company.

Tasting notes

The color is intense and deep red. The aroma offers ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and raspberries. The taste is rich and fruit-driven with notes of dark plums, cherries and a hint of cedar and vanilla. The texture is silky smooth and the finish has a slightly spicy warmth. The balance between fruit and barrel is perfect – a wine that both impresses and invites for a second glass.

Serving: Enjoy at 16-18°C. Perfect with grilled meats, lamb, pasta dishes or mature cheeses.

The story behind Kendall-Jackson

Kendall-Jackson is an icon of American wine. It was founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson, who dreamed of creating high-quality wines that everyone could enjoy.

Success came quickly with the Vintner’s Reserve series, which is still the heart of production. All grapes are grown in the house vineyards in California, where the cool ocean air gives the wines freshness, balance and depth.

Jess Jackson’s philosophy lives on: to create wines that excite the first time – and every time after.
