Kendall-Jackson Vineyard Estates stands as a prominent vineyard and winery, operating under the esteemed Kendall-Jackson brand. Situated in Santa Rosa, California, within the picturesque Sonoma Valley wine country, it has gained renown. By 2010, Kendall-Jackson had secured its position as the top-selling 'super-premium' wine brand in the United States, with prices exceeding US$15 per bottle. This achievement was underscored by frequent comparisons in blind tastings to the esteemed 1er Cru wines of Volnay, Burgundy.
In 1974, Jess Jackson, a land-use attorney from San Francisco, and his wife, Jane Kendall Wadlow Jackson, transformed an 80-acre pear and walnut orchard in Lakeport, California, into a vineyard. Initially, they sold wine grapes to local wineries. However, a downturn in the grape market in 1982 prompted a pivotal shift — instead of selling the grapes, they ventured into producing their own wine, thus giving rise to the Kendall-Jackson brand. This label continues to thrive under the umbrella of Jackson Family Wines, an overarching company established by Jackson himself.
During the 1980s, Kendall-Jackson diverged from the prevailing trend in the California wine industry, which emphasized vineyard-specific wine labeling. Opting against the concept of terroir, they favoured blending wines from different regions to achieve specific characteristics. However, a significant shift occurred in the mid-2000s, marked by a renewed focus on quality and a return to acknowledging the importance of terroir.
In a notable development in late 2006, the Jackson family unveiled White Rocket Wine Co. in Napa Valley, specifically targeting the millennial generation of wine enthusiasts.
