Every vintage of Klender Cabernet Sauvignon is handcrafted to find the perfect balance between delicious fruit, elegant tannins and an abundant finish. This classic California Cabernet Sauvignon behaves much like a First Growth of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, blending slight amounts of our Estate Merlot and Estate Cabernet Franc for a distinct Big Cab blend. Our gravelly soils are mineral-rich and well drained, providing the complexity reminiscent of this special French region.

Aging & Process

Our winery is a small family owned, where select production is limited, with attention on quality, not quantity. Our award-winning wine is carefully aged for at least twenty two months in traditional French oak barrels (new & neutral), where it is racked multiple times. No fining or filtration is used in the production of the wine with focus on flavor and balance. The color of the Cabernet is a deep garnet with an alluring nose of berries, rose and cassis. Proper cellaring of our wines should provide up to another 15 - 20 years of aging.

Award-winning...

Our 2014 Estate Reserve Cab was awarded a Gold medal at the prestigious 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition for Cabernet Sauvignon in their "$72 - $95 Cabernet Sauvignon" category. Our 2013 also won a Bronze medal, in this same competition, for Cabernet Blend, as well as in the 2018 California Mid-State Fair.
