TASTING NOTES
For more than three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessly committed to producing only the best wines from grapes grown in the cool climate of California's coastal vineyards. The search for the prefect varietal to plant in each zoned plot and the subsequent separate vinification, right down to the blending stage, is meticulous and difficult work, but it always brings excellent results year after year; in fact, Kendall Jackson is renowned for always producing rich, distinctive and balanced wines. To further round and sweeten the aromas and make this Sauvignon Blanc more complex, 15 percent of this wine is fermented in American oak barrels. Lake County, the heart of the blend, brings floral and citrus notes as well as flavors of melon, pineapple and grapefruit. Mendocino County, with 12% of the grapes making it, adds honeysuckle aromas. The South Coast ( 10% of grapes from Monterey County, 6% of grapes from San Luis Obispo County, and 3% of grapes from Santa Barbara County) adds minerality and fig tones to this wine. In this Sauvignon Blanc 2021we find fresh aromas of lime and thyme that lend a fruity, lively feel to this medium-bodied, well-balanced wine. Crisp acidity contrasts the ripe citrus flavors in an appetizing way.
