Wine Reviews --> Chardonnay --> Kendall-Jackson AVANT Chardonnay 2012

Kendall-Jackson AVANT Chardonnay 2012 California

Suggested Retail: $15, We Bought a Bunch: $13.99

This, very good, well-balanced Chardonnay is the antithesis of the regular Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay...

What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Partial malolactic has added a creaminess to this full-bodied white. Dominated by tropical fruits, it also reveals a boatload of freshness, good acidity, and terrific purity as well as length. This wine tastes as if it cost two or three times the price. Drink it over the next several years.

What We Thought: Tropical notes of pineapple appear on the nose and palate of this ripe and creamy, yet crisp, deftly balanced Chardonnay that finishes with more pineapple and lemon custard, along with some food-friendly acids.
