Kendall-Jackson Jackson Estate Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Kendall-Jackson Estates Collection Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a robust and concentrated red wine that highlights the mountain intensity of high-elevation sites within the Alexander Valley. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon blended with a significant portion of Merlot for added complexity and richness, it displays a powerful "mountain-style" profile with thick but refined tannins. The wine is aged for approximately 19 months in French oak barrels (40%–47% new), resulting in an integrated but firm structure. It offers a rich aromatic profile of blackberry, black currant, and cassis, layered with nuances of menthol, dark chocolate, and toasty oak spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, featuring flavors of ripe black cherry and anise with a fine burst of acidity and a long, drying finish.
