"Layered aromas of green apples, peaches, honey andvanilla balance flavors of baked apples, lemon, pineapple and mango. A hint of spiced nuts and a suggestion of toasted oak round out the lingering finish."

"The 2007 Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is entirely made from estate fruit. This cuvee seems to get better with each vintage as winemaker Randy Ullom is a virtuoso at producing such high quantity/high quality wine. Notes of melons, honeysuckle, and lemon oil along with remarkable flavor and texture are found in this wine."

"Medium-light golden yellow; attractive, forward, slightly buttery, baked apple aroma with lemony notes; medium-full to full body; forward, fleshy, green apple and tropical fruit flavors with a touch of toasty oak and a pleasing mouthfeel."

"Made in the familiar style that is K-J Vintner's Reserve, this Chardonnay shows pineapple, lemondrop, mineral and spice flavors balanced with crisp coastal acidity."
