Note di degustazione
Aged ten months in 41% new French oak, the 2016 Jackson Estate Camelot Highlands Chardonnay leaps from the glass with vivacious lemon tart, ripe grapefruit and fresh pineapple scents with hints of struck match, lime cordial, honeysuckle and crème brûlée. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is super intense with vibrant tropical fruit and loads of savory layers plus a pleasantly oily texture and wonderfully long finish. 2,030 cases produced.

The 2016 Chardonnay Jackson Estate Camelot Highlands comes from the Santa Maria Valley and was barrel fermented and aged in 41% new French oak, with plenty lees stirring. Its medium gold color is followed by a classic California Chardonnay nose of baked apples, honeysuckle, and musky melon and pineapple. It’s nicely balanced, has vibrant acidity, and a clean, length style that will keep for 2-3 years. Hat’s off to Kendall-Jackson for making such well-priced, high-quality wines in huge quantities.
Kendall-Jackson's 2016 Chardonnay Camelot Highlands is bright and nicely lifted. Candied lemon peel, white flowers, mint and chalk give the Camelot its distinctive top notes. Medium in body and super-refined, the 2016 is a wonderfully inviting wine to drink now and over the next handful of years.
