Why we like it

Kendall Jackson have been running their operation for 40 years, and their reserve Chardonnay is a great representation of American West Coast Chardonnay (Chablis drinkers look away now). This wine has everything dialled up to 11, this is a big, buttery behemoth and it's not even sorry about it.

This full-bodied, barrel-fermented wine offers light, toasted oak aromas, attractive baked apple flavours and accents of butter and vanilla. Good balance keeps it going sip after sip, revealing spice and almond nuances.
