2021 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay 375ml Half Bottle

For over three decades, Kendall-Jackson has remained relentlessly committed to producing only the finest quality wines from grapes grown in California’s cool, coastal vineyards. The winery carefully matches climates and soil types for each grape varietal, then guides each vineyard lot throughout the entire winemaking process. This proprietary approach to winemaking has earned Kendall-Jackson its world-renowned reputation for wines that consistently exhibit signature rich layers of flavor combined with delicate balance.

The fruit is whole-cluster pressed to retain fresh fruit qualities. The wine is aged for five months in French oak (4.5% new) and American oak (7% new), with sur lie aging and monthly battonage (lees stirring) to build a velvety, silky texture and creamy flavor.

Tasting Notes

Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.
