Kendall-Jackson 2010 Grand Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Barbara-Monterey)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $21
A very rich Chardonnay that’s creamy and smooth in the mouth. A touch of oak and lees gives weight and density to the lime and peach fruit, while brisk acidity contributes brightness. A great price for a wine of this distinction.  — S.H.  (7/1/2012)

Kendall-Jackson 2007 Grand Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Barbara-Monterey)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $21
Monterey’s cool-climate flavors of lemons and limes marry richer, more tropical Santa Barbara notes in this creamy smooth Chardonnay. Oak plays a prominent role, lending an edge of vanilla and buttered toast. This is a very good price for the quality.  — S.H.  (7/1/2009)

Kendall-Jackson 2005 Grand Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Barbara-Monterey)

  1. $20
Big, rich and opulent, filled with tropical fruit, lemon mousse, vanilla cream and buttered toast flavors. Really viscous, a soft, honeyed wine of power and charm. Firm acidity balances the richness.  — S.H.  (6/1/2007)

Kendall-Jackson 2009 Grand Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Barbara-Monterey)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $22
Soft and honeyed, an unctuous Chardonnay with pleasant citrus fruit and buttered toast flavors. Finishes a bit quick, but earns kudos for dryness and a clean, spicy finish. Easy to find, with more than 50,000 cases produced.  — S.H.  (5/1/2011)
