KENDALL-JACKSON VINTNER’S RESERVE CHARDONNAY 2021

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"America's #1 selling Chardonnay for 30 years and counting! It's no wonder Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is our most popular release. Handcrafted in small vineyard lots throughout the entire winemaking process, our grapes are from California’s cool, coastal growing regions. Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is fruit-forward, divinely complex, approachable and exceptionally food-friendly.

Beautifully integrated tropical flavours such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavours 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."

Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage)
"For lovers of ripe, rich Chardonnay – this pour is for you. Yellow apple, Bosc pear, yellow peach, mango skins and banana peel fruit notes intertwine with candied almonds, vanilla, nutmeg and buttery popcorn."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"It's opulent and sumptuous, offering grilled stone fruit, mango, citrus peel and vanillin oak notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying plush texture and creamy mouthfeel. Beautifully framed by juicy acidity, making it delicious and hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2027."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"A lifted, fruity and varietal bouquet of Chardonnay with scents of apricots and peach, vanilla-cream and a touch of butterscotch. Bold and expressive with a smoky vanilla oak quality. Plenty of weight on the palate though not full-bodied – and it doesn’t have to be, it is satin textured with contrasting acidity. Flavours of yellow stone-fruits, apple and baking spices reflect the bouquet. Rather delicious, youthful and plenty to like with its refreshing lengthy finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028."
