Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay 2022, California

100% Chardonnay – Handcrafted from 100% Jackson Estates Grown grapes grown in Kendall-Jackson vineyards along the cool coastal growing regions of Monterey County, Santa Barbara County, Mendocino County and Sonoma County. Grown in California’s cool coastal vineyards: Monterey County for citrus and lime flavors. Santa Barbara County for mango and pineapple flavors. Mendocino County adds tropical notes and honey flavors. Sonoma County for apple and pear flavors. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed to retain the fresh fruit qualities without the bitterness from stems and seeds. Fermented and aged in French and American oak barrels for richness, toastiness and complexity. Sue lie aging with monthly battonage for the signature velvety texture and creamy flavor. 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.
