Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2022

Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is a rich, estate-grown white wine that showcases the distinct minerality of Santa Barbara County’s cool coastal terroir. Sourced from high-quality vineyard sites in the Santa Maria and Los Alamos Valleys, the wine is 100% barrel-fermented in French oak and undergoes sur lie aging with twice-monthly lees stirring to create a lush, creamy mouthfeel. It features an expressive aromatic profile of tropical fruit, mango, and pineapple alongside delicate floral notes from Dijon and Rued clones. The palate is elegantly layered with flavours of ripe peach and honeydew melon, balanced by a bright acidity and a long finish defined by hints of vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spice.

Lemon syrup and crushed-rock aromas meet with fresh melon on the nose of this bottling. Fluffy tannins cruise across the palate, where toasted macadamia nut, salted lemon and sun-warmed melon flavors align into a rich display.
