Alexander Valley is filled with a diverse array of soils rich in iron-based volcanic rock, gravel, sand and clay and comprised mainly of mountains, ridges, hillsides and benchlands. The Kendall-Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from mountain fruit, resulting in refined tannins and a bone dry structure that is brightened with notes of blackberry, black currant, graphite and herbs. Blended with a little Petit Verdot for complexity and richness, it drinks beautifully now, and will age for a decade or longer.
