Yes, Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson Winery, reminds you of Chardonnay, reminds of tropical fruits, honey, vanilla, and toasted bread, and is exactly what you want from a Californian white wine! An impressive white wine, which with its velvety, creamy texture will seduce you!
Kendall Jackson Winery is one of the largest and most emblematic in California. It was founded in 1974 by Jess Jackson, who started with 32 hectares of land in the area that later emerged as the Sonoma Valley AVA. The winery's "star" varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, with the latter standing out for its rich, barrel-aged wines that uniquely capture the terroir of the region. One such wine is Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay.
Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay and the grapes come from the cool, coastal regions of California. It is fermented and matured in French (5% new) and American (6% new) barrels for 5 months, while the contact with the lees and its frequent stirring, results in the characteristic velvety texture and complexity. Aromas of pineapple, mango, papaya, and citrus notes, blend wonderfully with the barrel and give a highly enjoyable result.
Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay by Kendall Jackson has the very characteristic Californian character and if you are a fan of the genre you should not miss it.
