Winemaker Notes
"There are 5,036 cases of the exceptional 1999 Great Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. This opaque purple-colored Cabernet spent 23 months in primarily French oak, and had a whopping 47 days of skin contact. It is no shy wine at 14.5% alcohol, exhibiting aromas of vanilla, black currants, cedar, and loamy soil in addition to loads of concentrated fruit. This full-bodied and impeccably-balanced offering will be at its finest between 2006-2015."

Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California's cool coastal regions fruit with a variety of outstanding flavors. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding "cuvée" that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavorful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines that represented the full potential of California's finest vineyards and winemaking.
Today, over 5,000 acres of vineyard in California's coastal regions are farmed by Kendall-Jackson. Four separate wineries house what is possibly the single largest barrel-fermentation project in the world. But perhaps most important, is that Kendall-Jackson remains a family-owned winery.
