Eight acres of vines were planted on their own roots by Kathryn in 1973. Excellent soil, a climate possessing just the right amount of marine influence and personal attention combine to yield outstanding grapes. Each vintage is grown by hand and vinified in small lots followed by gentle barrel aging with 90% French oak. The result is big full-flavored wine with deep color and a decade or more of aging potential.
Kathryn planted the vineyard in 1973 after attending viticulture courses at UC Davis. The decision to specialize in one variety was based on advice she received there.

Kathryn Kennedy Red Bordeaux Blend California Lateral 2007
Snoothrank:
Loved it. Silky, satiny, lush mouth feel. Had first tasted the Kathryn Kennedy 1998 Lateral and thought I died and went to heaven. The 2007 is drinkable now and will withstand several years cellaring. Must say this is one of my favorites. Difficult to find on the East Coast. Read More

Snoothrank:
A spectacular blend. When a blend is done really well, it's much more complex, tasty, and interesting than the relatively one-dimensional varietals -- and this one's done really well. Read More
