2008 Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

"Elegant and tropical with hints of lemon oil essence, key lime and yellow grapefruit. Notes of ripe pineapple and mango can be found throughout this exquisitely balanced Chardonnay. Lushly layered and viscous with a firm acidity and enchanting creamy texture. The finish lingers on and on." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim
