Country: US / Jackson Estate Camelot Highlands
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Kendall-Jackson / Santa Maria Valley
Kendall-Jackson helped define the buttery oaky Chardonnay movement, and this bottling plays that card quite strongly. Oak meets with roasted nuts, sea salt, pecan brittle and Gravenstein apple on the nose. The rounded palate shows sandalwood, candied walnuts and chamomile, though oak is very prominent as well.
