6. Jackson Family Wines: Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2010

Another Californian giant shows what it can achieve at the top end with this offering, which combines estate grown grapes from Santa Barbara and Monterey County.

Taken from the top 7.5% of all Kendall-Jackson’s Chardonnay plots, the company notes that 70% of this selection remains the same from year to year in order to achieve a consistent style.

Expect that classic creamy, rich Californian style with some added structure from old vines in Santa Barbara and a refreshing lift of citrus thanks to the hillside fruit of Monterey.
