Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay 2021

As soon as you pour a glass and take a sip you'll understand why this has been the number one selling Chardonnay in America for 30+ years. Golden yellow, this barrel-fermented Chardonnay shows all the ripe orchard fruit, tropical fruit and sweet spice characteristics you would expect in a rich, refreshing, full-bodied California Chardonnay. The palate is creamy with baked apple, peach cobbler, and refreshing grilled pineapple on the finish. Enjoy with BBQ chicken & grilled pineapple skewers, pan-fried fish with mango chutney, hearty Autumn soups and roasted poultry, or simply on its own. Score - 90.
