Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve California Chardonnay
There is little more delicious than a buttery Californian Chardonnay and this one is no exception. Lead wine critic for Vinous, Antonio Galloni says, "Kendall-Jackson's flagship 2015 Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve is a model of consistency. Soft, supple and open-knit, with lovely tropical fruit, white flower and butter notes, the Vintner's Select is a pretty wine to drink over the next 2-3 years." This wine will drink well with a wide range of dishes including oily fish, such as salmon, and hearty salads.

Very nice buttery and smooth taste. Little sweeter than we might like but still went very well with rockfish and peaces for desert. Giant priced at $17, on sale for $11. Love that bale!

Decent Chardonnay I guess. Buttery aftertaste, fruity aroma and initial taste.

Had a 2013 tucked away in my cellar, wanted to see how this would stand up to age, opened on 5/6/18. The first Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay was released in 1983. Golden yellow color, some gentle oak and very ripe stone fruit aromas. Ripe apple and apricot fruits on the palate with vanilla and some buttery oak on the finish. Aged very well, to me stands up to wine in $25 range. Good value for a wine to entertain a crowd that won't break the bank.

Great with chicken. Seems like it's a high alcohol content. Love the buzz!

This got better as the weekend went on, starting on Friday quite sour & one dimensional, and finishing on Sunday as a very well rounded and pleasant wine. Would’ve definitely benefited from decanting. Quite tropical, with mango, Jonagold apple and a chalky mouthfeel. Probably wouldn’t buy again, but pleasing nonetheless.

Light gold in color. On the nose, popcorn, butter, cedar no fruits at all. Dry on the palate with butter, lime and grapefruit. Fermented in small oak barrels. 13.5% alcohol by volume. To me this was terrible. I couldn't take more than two sips. Oh well...
