| 2000 Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Great Estates Santa Barbara County Santa Barbara County, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $12.99 (Wine Club) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay This is a tremendous buy (if you can find any left...). Classic, sinfully rich California Chardonnay. Like the Arroyo-Seco in the same "Great Estates" line, this wine has great ripeness, big, oily mouth feel, yet with beautifully balanced acidity. Oak-laden super-ripe spicy tropical fruit flavors and lingering finish. I wish I'd bought more of this one when I had the chance - I was scared off by its age, yet it is an absolutely vibrant wine that shows no sign of drifting over the hill. - HK 2005-06-20 [Back] |
