The grapes for the 2008 Kenwood Reserve Chardonnay were sourced from the Russian River Valley, well known for producing excellent Chardonnay. Sixty percent of the fruit was grown on our estate vineyards.
This wine exhibits delicious aromas of baked apples and toasty vanilla with subtle hints of lime and nutmeg, rich mouthfeel with a fresh, crisp finish.
