Kendall Jackson was founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson. He purchased an 80-acre pear and walnut orchard and planted his first Chardonnay grapes in Lake County. A family business, he set out to make a high-quality and affordable wine. In 1992, Kendall-Jackson's Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay becomes the #1 selling Chardonnay in America. From there, the family purchased more land and expanded their portfolio, growing more premium European grapes with the same philosophy.This medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc has great texture in the mid-palate with zesty acidity. Notes of fresh lemon and tropical fruits on the nose. A great aperitif to begin with and can easily transition into dinner. Pair this wine with a fresh green salad with goat cheese, a lightly sauteed fish with lemon and herbs, or pasta with fresh spring vegetables. Try it also with a goat cheese or a sharp cheddar.
