Tasting - Kendall Jackson Chardonnay

 1) 


2) 


3) Kendall Jackson Vinter's Reserve, Chardonnay, United States, California, 2019, $10.00

4) Review from Viviano: "Great expression of oak and butter in a chardonnay. good balance, complexity, and finish. Buttery with lots of oak surrounding the apple and pear fruit with a tropical fruit finish."

5) From Wine Folly: One of the world's most popular grapes, chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling blanc de blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Flavors include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, vanilla, and butter. Mostly made in France and USA.

6) I drank this without any food. My mom bought this wine a couple days ago when she came to visit so it had been open a couple days and I couldn't taste it right when she opened it because I had surgery that day, so lets hope 2 day old chardonnay is still good. Smell is apple and pear, very fruity but not berry or citrus. Feel wise it was very smooth and felt good going down. I definitely taste the buttery, oaky flavor to go along with more pear. A little sweetness and a normal amount of dryness. I could definetly drink more then 1 glass of this. Overall rating: 7.5/10

It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
