Kendall-Jackson Avant Unoaked Chardonnay 2018 Review
This wine is a good last-minute pick up for a party or a bottle to have lying around the house for chardonnay lovers. The tart nose hints at ripe pear and even though it sees no oak, vanilla; or maybe it’s coconut. Either way it is not the most complex and balanced wine, but for the price it would do well at large parties where wine is not the focus.
