Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve 2005

California, United StatesNow 100 per cent Jackson Estates grown this 2 million case brand continues to amaze us. Look for freshness and fruit to dominate this chardonnay with its mango honey pineapple nuances. It's 89 per cent barrel fermented but it only spends 5 months in oak leaving it a fresh, mineral, citrus and peach skin demeanour. Fine elegance as usual thanks to 100 per cent cool coastal fruit. Very attractive new wave California style. Growing Regions include: 45% Monterey, 33% Santa Barbara, 19% Mendocino counties.Tasted: 04 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
