The first Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay was released in 1983. Pale lemon color. Some oak and stone fruit aromas. Peach and tropical fruits on the palate with vanilla and buttery oak on the finish. Good value for a wine to entertain a crowd that won't break the bank. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample. Previously Tasted ‘15 & ‘16 side by side, not much difference. Consistent.

Black currant aroma. Fruity notes and slightly sweet, high in acidity and low-medium tannin with a short and clear finish.

Seriously this is one of my favorite Chardonnays, I rarely find one that I like, and we all love the KJ Chardonnay
