Vintner's Reserve Jackson Estate California Chardonnay

Residual sugar and high acid - I get why like this stuff.

Got from Jackie 12-24 at Christmas. Love it! Got me to like Chardonnay!

Yawn. Way too much tropical fruit. Too sweet.

Sweet and fairly crisp

I don't normally drink Chardonnay but when I do, I drink Kendall Jackson Chardonnay.
Seriously though, I was surprised that I actually found a Chardonnay that I enjoyed. It's got more of an oak or woody feel to it than other whites I usually drink. Not too dry or anything, drank really nicely!

Pale-medium lemon color.
Aromas of lemon, toast.
Dry. Flavors of lemon, light butter.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5

Deep yellow, light and buttery

Paired w/penne with garlic rosemary creme

Delicious, fruity, sweet, a little buttery.
Chardonnay that anyone can drink

Good enough
