Sonoma County is one of the finest corners of California when it comes to winemaking, and one of the top producers in the region has just been named American Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast—Kendall-Jackson Winery!
“This is an outstanding achievement by Kendall-Jackson—especially when you consider the competitive landscape is stronger than it has ever been,” said Kevin Roberts, executive vice president of supplier relations at Breakthru Beverage. “Kendall-Jackson’s impact on the explosive growth of California Chardonnay can’t be understated. There is a reason the Vintner’s Reserve has been the top-selling Chardonnay for a quarter of a century—it’s a phenomenal product.”
Kendall-Jackson’s continued staying power in the market has in part been driven by the three Vintner’s Reserve entries: the aforementioned Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and the recently-released rosé.

“Kendall-Jackson’s commitment to best-in-class quality winemaking, especially with the stand out Chardonnay, is one of the reasons consumers have made that grape one of the most frequently purchased wines for both on- and off-premise,” Roberts said. “KJ’s success continues the tradition of excellence from Jackson Family Wines’ portfolio of wineries. We’re very proud to partner with the JFW family to help deliver their award-winning products to consumers.”
