Sweet, slightly peachy fruit tones are accented by toasty, sweet oak scents in the fairly accessible and appealing aromas. Juicy, appley fruit and quiet oak.

Always a tasty California Chard.

Sweet floral and citrus aromas pick up a hint of vanilla on the palate. Medium-bodied and easy going with good balance and ample acidity.

Very fruity.

Ripe, quaffable.

Sweet in oak and pear-like in its fruit with clear tropical overtones. Good value under $10.

Nicely ripened appley fruit. Oak adds a measure of richness to this youthful, medium-full-bodied effort.

Spicy oak. Relatively rounded on the palate. Easy-to-taste.

This fresh, lively wine offers appealing, lemony apple aromas and flavors.

Light tropical fruit aromas, and a generous, slightly sweet entry. The full spicy palate leads to a warm finish. The classic Kendall-Jackson blend.

Immense fruitiness.

Worth Sampling.

Best value.

Soft and understated in the nose with subtle suggestions of creamy oak and apples, this rounded, medium-bodied offering delivers clean, uncomplicated fruit flavors.

Recommended.

Big and rich with distinct varietal character.

Best value.

Lees and oak elements along with slightly candied apple and pear-like fruit are presented in the youthful aromas of this well-filled wine. Apples, melons, vanilla and toast all emerge from its neatly layered flavors. Sustains plenty of interest through to a lingering finish.

Recommended. One of the better efforts by this Sonoma winery. Tropical fruit aromas and toasty oak flavors, good complexity.

Fresh, lively, elegant and creamy.

Among my top three Chardonnays.

The best Chard the K-J folks have turned out, and they've made some of the greats. Rich, fruity, seductive aromas yield to a mouthful more complex than Donald Trump's tax return. Round, smooth, with gobs of citrus and tropical fruits, it's absolutely delicious, perfect as an aperitif (our way) or with rich fish dishes (also our way).

Rich, dry, crisp, orange and pineapple flavors.

Elements of ripe apples are evident in the rich and outgoing flavors of this attractive and very accessible Chardonnay. Smooth and creamy on the palate, yet balanced by adequate acidity, the wine is long, clean and fruity.
