Title: Grand Reserve Zin?
As one of the many fans of the 2006 Grand Reserve Zinfandel I was sorry to see it sold out so quickly. Are there any plans for another vintage of that excellent Zin/Barberra combination?
You're in luck! The 2006 Zinfandel can be purchased right here on our site. There will be a bottling of the 2008 mid-to-late 2010. Thank you for your support, Randy

Title: Kendall-Jackson Great Winery
I love the way you guys at Kendall Jackson Winery make and create your wines. When your wines were more expensive I still purchased them since it was the best wine I've tasted. Now it's so great that Kendall Jackson wine is now more less expensive. I get it when I have a long or stressed out day and am staying home and just relaxing. It tastes great, it is at a reasonable cost and the best of all however you guys make it makes me feel magnificant!! Thank you all at Kendall-Jackson.
Thanks for your kind words. You may be interested in our Wine Club. Members have access to special releases, exclusive events and discounts on your wine purchases.

Title: Acquiring Older Vintages
Are we able to purchase a wine from the 2002 batch? Such as the Kendall-Jackson 2002 Merlot. The best year I have ever tasted.
Most of our wines are sold out before we introduce a new vintage. However, we occasionally hold back a few cases. We scoured our cellars for you and found a few remaining cases of the 2002 Vintner's Reserve Merlot. It won't be on our website, but can be purchased by calling Connie directly at 1.800.769.3649, provided you live in a state to which we can ship.
Thanks for asking!

Title: Blending Wine
How and when do you determine if you will blend other varietals into a Cabernet Sauvignon?
We have a few Bordeaux Blend varietals planted on our estate vineyards in different appellations, and we harvest and age these lots separately. Before we make any blending decisions, our winemakers focus on crafting the Cabernet Sauvignon first. Then we’ll consider blending our Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot lots with the Cabernet if we feel it improves the overall quality of the wine. Our goal is to always create the best possible wine with exceptional complexity, taste and aromatics, whether it’s 100% Cabernet Sauvignon or a blend of several varietals.
