Winemaker Notes
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.

Wine Enthusiast
Concentrated and creamy but not overly showy, this wine is balanced, restrained and layered. It meshes an apple-tart flavor with subtle vanilla and nutmeg nuances while underlying acidity achieves excellent balance.Editors' Choice.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is firm and rewarding on the palate and long in the finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, savory spices, and oak front and center. Pair it with grilled pork chops and freshly-picked garden greens.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve is scented of yellow apples, baker’s yeast and hazelnut with tones of beeswax. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, honeyed fruits, juicy acidity and a long, nutty finish.

Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California's cool coastal regions fruit with a variety of outstanding flavors. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding "cuvée" that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavorful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines that represented the full potential of California's finest vineyards and winemaking.
Today, over 5,000 acres of vineyard in California's coastal regions are farmed by Kendall-Jackson. Four separate wineries house what is possibly the single largest barrel-fermentation project in the world. But perhaps most important, is that Kendall-Jackson remains a family-owned winery.
