the
benchmark
for Sonoma Valley Cabernet
Steep mountains, edging the Sonoma Valley on both
sides, create great geological and climatic diversity
in the region. Similarly to its parallel-running easterly
neighbour, the Napa Valley, temperatures here
become (counter-intuitively) warmer as you head north,
away from the chill breezes of San Francisco Bay.
Wine has been made in Sonoma Valley for over a
century, and it was here that winemakers brought
the practice of ageing wines in French oak barrels
into fashion in California. Sourced from the Jack
London Vineyard high atop Sonoma Mountain, this
Cabernet has been crafted every vintage since
1976.This bold version from the stellar 2007 vintage
combines raw power with robust dark fruit and
a spectrum of spices, and makes a fine partner for
braised lamb or game dishes.
KENWOOD JACK LONDON VINEYARD
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2007
Sonoma Mountain, Sonoma Valley, California
944843 (D) 750 mL $34.95
TASTING NOTE: The wolf head icon on the Jack London
wines comes from the cover of the novel, The Call
of the Wild , written by former owner of this vineyard and
California author, Jack London. This Cabernet has
fiercely attractive black cherry, dark spices, dried herbs,
and yes, a savagely good finish. It’s got a grip from
robust tannins so age it or decant for two hours if you
can’t. Plush dark fleshy berries but solid structure
and balance. Drink at your next book club meeting.

The historic and remarkably diverse wine region of Sonoma holds a special place in the pantheon of premium
California wine. The region is rich with vineyards – many of them with long-established histories – and winemakers
continue to discover top winegrowing sites across Sonoma’s widely varied, ocean-influenced and mountainous
terrain. Sonoma is a region that’s always been comfortable in its own skin, and its wines and winemakers reflect
this with a mix of technical excellence and easygoing personality.
