    Cabernet Sauvignon | Make it at KJ

    We source our fresh Cabernet Sauvignon juice from the Languedoc-Roussilllon region of France. Harvested each fall, packaged in Germany and sent to Canada. This is a premium product made with 100% freshly pressed wine grapes.

    Cabernet Sauvignon is by far, our biggest selling juice. The reason for that is simple, it is a well known grape that is great on its own and is absolutely killer in blends. It is full bodied, with balanced notes of dark fruit, and medium tannins. We like to make this with oak, and it blends well with just about every other red juice we offer.

    2022 Tasting Notes: Dark colour, full bodied, lots of strong fruit character. Great on its own, or integral as a blending wine to boost colour & alcohol in other juices. Can be blended with Barbera, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We would love to not have to include this step, but our license to produce wine has some strict rules which include our customers being required to "pitch" yeast before wine production can begin. This is simply opening a package of yeast and pouring it into a beaker. It takes about 30 seconds!

    You can also send a friend or family member in your place to finalize the process.

    Once we have someone "pitch" the yeast, it will take 6-7 weeks to produce the wine.

    Great question! We will contact you either by phone or email once we have completed production of your wine. From there we can schedule a time for you to visit us in-store to assist us in the sampling and bottling process.

    Unfortunately we are not able to offer delivery or shipping of wines made on-site at KJ. The AGCO requires that all wine made on premise be picked up by the purchaser, or a designated (19+) representative.

    Absolutely! Blending is something we're big believers in. We're not quite set up to offer blending options on our website right now. But we can arrange to make a special blend over the phone or by visiting us in-store to place the order.

    Absolutely! We can add oak to your wine - we offer three different oaking regimens (light, medium, and heavy).

    We can also make your wine off-dry. This means leaving some of the natural sugar in the wine - this makes the wine taste sweeter. We find this ideal for wines like Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Moscato.

    Feel free to leave us a comment in the order notes with any customizations you would like.
