Wine Review: This yellow colored Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson is as always, very good. It opens with lemon and pineapple bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and balanced. The flavor profile is a golden apple and gentle pineapple blend with notes of faint oak. There is also a hint of lemon and tangerine towards the end. The finish is dry and it drifts away nicely. This Chard will be its usual crowd pleaser self. It will also be versatile glass pour. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker 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.
