Kenzo Estate is a stunning 3,800-acre property in the mountains above Napa, established by Capcom founder Kenzo Tsujimoto and guided by celebrated winemaker Helen Kiplinger. Only a fraction is under vine, and the estate’s flagship ‘Rindo’ blend is always a mosaic of Bordeaux varieties that capture the tranquil beauty and meticulous farming of the site.

The 2018 ‘Rindo’ opens with layers of ripe plum, black cherry and cocoa, then unwinds into notes of wild sage, vanilla and cedar. Supple tannins frame black fruits, licorice and a subtle grounding of minerality, and hints of rose petal and espresso persist on the finish.
