Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Grand Reserve 2014
Monterey - Santa Barbara, California, United StatesThe ’14 GR is a 51/49 Santa Barbara Monterey County fruit selection with some 70 percent coming in off the same blocks most years. Interestingly it represents only about five percent of total chardonnay harvested off all Jackson estates. The old vine Santa Maria benchland vineyards in Santa Barbara County are the building blocks here for structure and richness while the zippy, mineral fresh flavours are form the Monterey component. This is another California chardonnay that is slowly, some might say ever so slowly, getting slimmer and crisper on the palate. Expect a freshness and Citrus note from the cooler Monterey fruit and a more exotic, tropical pineapple flavour form the Santa Barbara side. A solid vintage.
