Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Grand Reserve 2006
Monterey - Santa Barbara, California, United StatesThe latest GR chardonnay is delicious. The fruit split is mostly settled in at 55/45 between Monterey and Santa Barbara but still only represents a miniscule 3 per cent of total chardonnay that comes off all Jackson estates. Rich open, leesy, nose with fresh red apple fruit drizzled with honey. Sumptuous styling with plenty of tropical fruit flavours including peach, mango pineapple and more. The finish is rich without clinging finishing with bits of mineral and fine acidity. Very impressive effort.Tasted: 02 December 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $39.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Summit Fine Wines |
