This dark garnet red wine delivers bright cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit with elegant earthy notes with cola and mild spice accents. Oak aging adds hints of vanilla and a soft, toasty finish. Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Pinot Noir red wine lots are kept separate until the final blend so that our winemakers have the ability to craft a wine that exhibits the perfect blend of flavors and aromas from each region. Grapes are grown in cool coastal vineyards resulting in small, densely-flavored grapes which create well-structured wines. Monterey County grapes develop the floral nuances and structure along with flavors of ripe berries. Santa Barbara County infuses the wine with dark cherry lushness. Barrel aged in French oak for a hint of various aromas.
