Jack London Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

a Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma MountainCA

2018 had a cool Spring and mild summer which resulted in slow ripening until a heat spike around Labor Day accelerated ripening. Immediately after, the weather returned to mild temperatures again, allowing the grapevines to recover. Individual blocks at Jack London vineyard were picked at the peak of ripeness between September 25th and October 2nd. After an average of 16 days of fermentation on the skins, the lots were then individually pressed off and settled before being transferred into barrels for 30 months of aging.

Winery Picture

Kenwood Vineyards

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 Vintage Wine Series, Sonoma Series, Reserve, Jack London Vineyard or Artist Series - is consistent in quality and consistently delicious.
