Wine Review: This light-yellow colored Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson is very impressive! It opens with a toasted oak, vanilla, pineapple and lemon bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very well balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a rich oak and Bartlett pear blend with notes of pineapple, butter and ripe apple. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This Chard is pure a California style and will be loved by those that like it that way. I would pair it with baked stuffed lobster. Enjoy – Ken
Winemaker Notes: Pineapple, guava and tangerine with a lush, rich palate. Notes of cinnamon, candied lime and vanilla bean create an appealing and long, lingering fi nish. All of this overlies a touch of salinity and minerality.
