Wine Description:
The Kenzo Estate Ai Cabernet Sauvignon is a luxurious offering from Napa Valley's acclaimed Kenzo Estate. Grapes are sourced from high-elevation vineyards that benefit from a unique microclimate and rocky soils, imparting the wine with its distinct character. The winemaking process is exacting: grapes are handpicked and sorted before undergoing a long, temperature-controlled fermentation in custom-designed stainless steel tanks. This is followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the wine's natural acidity. The wine is then aged for an extended period in premium French oak barrels, a step that adds complexity and enhances its rich, layered flavors.
Pros:
  • Rich and complex flavor profile with notes of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate

Cons:
  • May require some additional aging to fully integrate the tannins and develop more complexity

On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, accompanied by subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. These aromas intertwine harmoniously, creating an inviting and sophisticated olfactory experience. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon displays a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors of ripe black fruits, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, dominate the palate, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of spice. The wine's impressive depth and complexity unfold gradually, leaving a long and memorable finish. The Kenzo Estate Ai Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. The wine's elegance and finesse make it a perfect choice for special occasions or for those seeking a truly exceptional wine experience.

The grapes are sorted prior to a whole-berry fermentation in a large proportion of new French oak barrels for an extended maceration. Maturation takes place in new French oak for around 2 years to soften the muscular tannins extracted during the lengthy post-fermentation maceration.
