One of California’s premium wine pioneers, Kenwood Vineyards is in the heart of Sonoma County. We craft wines with unique varietal character driven from Sonoma’s diverse terroir. Our small-lot winemaking philosophy reflects our dedication to the details, ensuring our wines capture the best Sonoma has to offer. Kenwood Vineyards creates its award-winning Sonoma County Merlot from vineyards located in Sonoma County’s best grape growing appellations. Our Estate Vineyard located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley provides good color and excellent texture. The remainder of the blend is balanced with the rich fruit and spicy flavors from grapes sourced in the Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys. A fruity style with aromas of ripe plum and dried cherry with spicy notes of cinnamon, licorice and vanilla.
