Kendall-Jackson 'Jackson Estate' Camelot Highlands Chardonnay 2016 Review
Imagine lemons, peaches, almonds and pralines covered in sugar caramelized with a vanilla bean and a stick of butter. Then dose all of that with moonshine and pour in some oak chips. Kendall Jackson is known for this extreme style of buttery chard and they seem to still be keeping the trend alive. The 14.5% alcohol burns through the wine, forcing the palate to grab what aromas it can before the fire arrives. If this is your jam, you will love this wine.
