Kendall-Jackson Vintners Reserve Chardonnay 2007

• Light & Crisp: Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
• Fruity & Smooth: Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
• Rich & Creamy: Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

"Thanks to Jess Jackson’s extraordinary agricultural empire of top-notch vineyards sprinkled throughout the state of California, the 2007 Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is entirely made from estate fruit. It is 100% barrel-fermented, and aged five months with 100% malolactic, an incredible fact considering the volume produced. This cuvee seems to get better with each vintage as winemaker Randy Ullom is a virtuoso at producing such high quantity / high quality wine. Purchasers should be sure they are buying it from a retailer who stores it properly as this is a serious Chardonnay. Notes of melons, honeysuckle, and lemon oil along with remarkable flavor and texture are found in this wine, which can be purchased for under $15 a bottle. It is best consumed during the first 1-2 years of life."

Layered aromas of green apples, peaches, honey and vanilla balance flavors of baked apples, lemon, pineapple and mango. A hint of spiced nuts and a suggestion of toasted oak round out the lingering finish.
