Founded: 1982
Founder: Jess Jackson
Home region: Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California
Flagship: Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay
Ownership: Jackson Family Wines

Jess Jackson and his wife Jane converted a Lake County pear and walnut orchard to vineyard in 1974; after a grape-market downturn they made their own wine in 1982, and the stuck-fermentation 1982 Chardonnay became an instant sensation.

Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay has been the bestselling Chardonnay in the US for 25 years; Kendall-Jackson has been proclaimed Winery of the Year in the USA ten times.

Winemaker Notes

Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.

This is a classic for the house, the one that everyone can drink any day of the week. The fruit is fresh, lively, with aromas of orchard fruit, yellow apple, pear, quince, orange, vanilla bean, dried herbs on the nose; the mouth feels supple, with pronounced acidity, ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and a dry, round, juicy finish.
