Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay

California Coast, United States

Fruit for this Chardonnay is sourced from cool coastal California vineyards, where fog and ocean air moderate ripening. The result is ripe enough for tropical fruit but fresh enough to remain balanced.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is naturally adaptable, showing apple and citrus in cooler sites and pineapple or mango in warmer spots. This bottling leans into ripe fruit, creaminess, and soft spice.

Coastal vineyards with varied loam and gravel soils create a broad blending palette. Barrel fermentation, oak aging, and malolactic influence add vanilla, butter, and a rounded texture.

Aromatic notes of pineapple, mango, baked apple, vanilla, and toasted oak make the wine immediately recognizable as a rich California Chardonnay.

Vintner's Reserve is one of America's most familiar Chardonnays and a useful reference for the popular ripe-oaked California style.
