Winemaker Notes
Kenwood 2003 Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon is an opulent wine of great depth and concentration. This wine displays balance and refinement with aromas of raspberries, currants and dark chocolate. The wine is approachable when young, yet capable of aging gracefully for many years to come.
The Art: Vincent van Gogh, born in Groot-Zundert, Holland, was a post-Impressionist whose work powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism and early abstraction. His unique fusion of form and content is powerful and imaginative as characterized through this work "The Starry Night." Color is the chief character of expression throughout this piece and is portrayed through his swirling brushstrokes, deep color, and dramatic use of form and line.

Located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley, Kenwood Vineyards is dedicated to producing premium wines truly representative of Sonoma County’s world-class vineyards.
Kenwood Vineyards was established in 1970 in the former Pagani Brothers Winery, a historic cellar dating back to 1906. Thoroughly refurbished and modernized, the facility now boasts more than 125 stainless steel fermenting tanks and large oak uprights, and 20,000 small French and American oak barrels, all devoted to Kenwood Vineyards’ “small lot” style of winemaking.
In addition to the 22-acre vineyard surrounding the winery, Kenwood Vineyards sources grapes from dozens of vineyards – many farmed sustainably, using natural soil amendments and pest controls whenever possible rather than chemicals - in Sonoma County’s best appellations, including Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Mountain. Each lot from each vineyard is kept separate throughout the winemaking process, enabling the winemaker to bring it to its fullest potential. This “small lot” or “cuvee” style of winemaking also enables the winemaker to draw on an exceptionally broad “palette” to assemble wines that showcase classic character, subtle complexity and superb balance. As a result, every Kenwood Vineyards wine – whether Table Wine Series, Sonoma Series, Reserve, Jack London Vineyard or Artist Series – is consistent in quality and consistently delicious.
