COMMENTARY: A rosé for all, The 2017 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Rosé brings lots of joy and pleasure to the party, and this is wine for both newbies and experienced drinkers. TASTING NOTES: This wine starts out with bright pink and comes onto the palate with an explosion of berry fruits. Enjoy its open-knit style with light appetizers or just by itself. (Tasted: February 16, 2018, San Francisco, CA)
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.
