Kenwood Vineyards Mendocino/Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Kenwood Vineyards Mendocino/Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is a California red wine crafted from grapes harvested at peak ripeness from Mendocino and Sonoma County vineyards, fermented and aged separately to preserve each vineyard’s unique character, then aged for 23 months in a blend of French, Eastern European, and American oak barrels with a small blending component of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.

Kenwood Vineyards has been producing wines from California’s wine country since 1970, with a focus on wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma County and its surrounding regions. The combination of French, Eastern European, and American oak over 23 months adds the characteristic vanilla, spice, and toasty oak complexity to the naturally rich dark fruit character of the Mendocino and Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
