Our take
What we make of this bottle
As of August 12, 2026, 20 shoppers have weighed in on this Sauvignon Blanc, settling at 4.55 out of five. Kendall-Jackson describes itself as family grown since 1982, and it locates its Wine Estate & Gardens at 5007 Fulton Road in Santa Rosa, California.
Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape. Official regional guides point to citrus, green herbs, gooseberry and tropical fruit across the category, with cooler vineyards leaning toward green and citrus notes and warmer or riper fruit that can lean more tropical.
In our September 2026 checks, prices ranged from $12.99 to $24.99 across eight stores.
Kendall-Jackson's own product page states the blend precisely: 94 percent Sauvignon Blanc with 4 percent Pinot Blanc and 1 percent Semillon, finished at 13.5 percent alcohol. The producer describes the fruit as certified sustainably grown, drawn from what it calls the best coastal California winegrowing regions, and its own tasting notes list white flowers, Bartlett pear, honeysuckle, apricot, tangerine, guava, white peach, quince and honeycomb, the producer's words for a wine it pairs with fish tacos, sushi and goat cheese.
Our call: choose it when the producer's account carries weight for you; Kendall-Jackson states a family-grown history reaching back to 1982 and backs this bottle with a precise blend, mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a splash of Pinot Blanc and Semillon, and a published 13.5 percent alcohol figure. If shopper reception is your compass, pass on this one; the average so far comes in below the middle of the rated wines we cover, so the producer's history and its published numbers, not the scores, make the case here.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
Getting to know Sauvignon Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape known for wines with clear aroma and refreshing acidity. It is usually made as a dry still wine, though sweetness and oak use vary.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Official regional guides describe citrus, green herbs, gooseberry and tropical fruit across the category. Cooler sites can emphasize green and citrus notes, while warmer or riper fruit can lean more tropical.
