Grand Reserve Jackson Estates Chardonnay

Very buttery with hint of honey

Truly drinks like a 1er cru Montrachet. Very rich and viscous w/o overloads of glycerin. Lots of Malo.

Some age on this Chardonnay…, deep yellow color, mellowed oak flavors, enjoyable.

Notes of tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) on the nose. Crisp, refreshing taste, not discernibly buttery. Medium texture. Subtle flavor, smooth.

Beautiful gold color. Great oak. Tropical fruits. Nice acidic balance. Good finish.

A crowd pleaser and very easy drinking. Straddles that difficult gulf of quality, consistency, and approachability. A little more tropical fruit flavor in later vintages, but not overly oaky, vanilla or sweet like other $17-20 competitors. Not as smooth as Cuvasion (our fave peer) and no minerality or earthy flavors, but hearty enough to eat with white meat and has a nice rich mouth feel.

i found this to be an unusually complex chardonnay. Not particularly fruit forward, pear and light citrus. Much more pronounced is the vanilla and caramel towards the back which bit of herb right at the end. I liked this wine, especially at a $13 price point.

Light fruit with nice mouthfeel. Buttery, not oaky

Smooth light pear no bite makes it's easy to drink. Had with chicken on a rainy day May 2017. Very nice.

Honey viscuous peach
