title: Kendall-Jackson 2013 Jackson Estate Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Whatever the Jackson family does in Santa Maria works quite well, including this wine. The wondrous nose shows chives, exotic pears, mandarin pith, sesame seeds, a touch of smoke and chalky grip. On the palate, flavors recall fried green apple peels, lemon juice, quince, star fruit and lemon pith.
variety: Chardonnay
