FIRST VINTAGE OF KENDALL-JACKSON VINTNER'S RESERVE CHARDONNAY

In 1982, Jess Jackson started a revolution with his Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, which today remains the country’s bestselling white wine. “Jess understood the reality and the need to blend, to get all the different flavors from up and down the cool coast of California,” says Randy Ullom, Kendall-Jackson’s winemaker. From these different regions, Jess crafted an accessible, fruit-forward style that resonated with American drinkers.
