Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve 1999

California, United StatesThe VR Chardonnay is mostly barrel fermented and aged for seven months in small oak - half French/half American. Look for an open melon, spicy, buttery vanilla aromas with some grassy, apple notes. More delicate now with round, forward flavours of melon, spicy buttery lees, with some mango and pineapple flavour underneath. Soft, buttery melon finish. Unctuous, somewhat oaky style with some hotness in the finish.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
