Here at Kendall-Jackson, we have learned that the vine is truly a mountain animal. Our estate vineyards include 14,000 acres throughout the cool California coastal regions, where our vineyards sit atop mountains, ridges, hillsides and benchlands. While growing grapes in high-elevation vineyards is difficult for both the vintner and the vine, the grapes grown in these elevated sites clearly produce the richest, most intense character and flavors.

From these breathtaking, beautiful vineyards, our winemakers draw a rich palette of aromas and flavors to handcraft wines of exceptional depth and complexity.
