Kenwood Vineyards/Wines
Kenwood Vineyards was founded in 1970 when wine enthusiasts from the San Francisco Bay Area refurbished and modernized the former Pagani Brothers Winery, originally established in 1906. Ideally located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, Kenwood Vineyards, named after the town of Kenwood, is committed to producing premium wines that reflect Sonoma County's finest vineyards and define the region's grape varieties in their true character and style. The winery produces classic varietal wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer and Merlot. Kenwood Vineyards has earned the reputation for crafting wines that offer consistent high quality and outstanding value at every price level.
The winery sits on a beautiful twenty-two acre producing estate. Kenwood's wines are produced from both these grapes grown on site, as well as from fruit sourced from some of Sonoma County's finest vineyards. Using the "cuvée" winemaking method, the harvest from each vineyard is handled separately to preserve its individuality and true character. Such "small lot" winemaking allows veteran Winemaker Pat Henderson to bring each lot of wine to its fullest potential as shown in the blending of Kenwood Vineyard's Reserve, Jack London, and Single Vineyard Series' Wines. The ultimate expression, Kenwood's winemaking philosophy is embodied in its highly acclaimed Artist Series, a blend of the finest barrels of Cabernet that reveal the evident rewards of this dedication to excellence.
