Tasting - Kendall Jackson Chardonnay

Name: Kendall Jackson Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2017
Price: $18

Winery Review: “Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.”

My Review: This is my first white wine tasting and I wanted a dry but not too dry wine. This was a little sweet, but it started to grow on me and I like it now. It was extremely fruity with a mix of fruit types from berry to tree fruits to citrus. If my palate isn't lying to me, I tasted apples, grapefruit and pineapple from the wine. It has a smooth finish which actually does last long like the review (which I figured out right before I typed up this review when I went back for another sip).

I didn't try this with any food.
