Wine Review: This golden yellow colored Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson is very good. It opens with an oak and pineapple bouquet with hints of pear and banana. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, slightly viscous, and rich. The flavor profile is similar to the nose. It features grilled pineapple and oak flavors with notes of mango and tangerine. We also detected a hint of white peach. The finish is off-dry and nicely prolonged. This wine will be a crowd pleaser with readers who are fans of this style. I would pair it with an apple and brie stuffed chicken. 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.
