Review date: April 1, 2026

Wine Review: This clear and dark yellow colored Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson is very good once again. It opens with a pineapple and lemon bouquet with hints of oak and green tea. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, bright, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a pineapple and lemon tea blend with notes of white pepper and mango. I also detected hints of oak and bartlett pear. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. I would pair this crowd-pleasing Chardonnay with a crab cake. 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.
