Enjoy it now, or hold for a few years. No need to decant before serving. Founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson, Kendall-Jackson winery was the starting point for the Jackson Family Wines company, which has become hugely influential, both at home and abroad. Despite the enormous success, Kendall-Jackson winery has remained true to its roots. It is still led by “Winemaster” Randy Ullom and continues to produce the trademark Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, as pioneered by Jess Jackson in 1983. Vintner’s Reserve is still America’s best-selling Chardonnay, 30 years after its first appearance on the market. Nowadays it is a symbol of California as a whole, crafted with grapes sourced from choice vineyards all across the state. Exhibiting an open bouquet of yellow apple, tropical fruit and lemon zest with hints of butter and honey, this wine is the quintessential Californian Chardonnay. It has a creamy texture in the mouth, with a pleasant acidic bite. Each vineyard brings a different element to the blend. The Santa Barbara grapes impart notes of tropical fruit, while Monterey County provides a citrus backbone. Mendocino brings a hint of green apple skin, and Sonoma offers luscious pear. All sourced from cool, coastal vineyards, the combined fruits make for a real treat of a wine. Best served slightly below room temperature, accompanied by white meats or fish.
