Jackson Estate Piner Hills

2012 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Kendall-Jackson Jackson Estate Piner Hills Chardonnay from the 2012 vintage is a delightful expression of the Russian River Valley's unique terroir. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, with vibrant acidity that dances playfully across the palate, creating a refreshing experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of ripe pear and crisp green apple, complemented by subtle hints of citrus and tropical fruits. The winemaker's careful craftsmanship is evident in the wine's well-integrated oak influence, bringing forth nuances of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. With its balanced complexity and inviting character, this Chardonnay is a perfect companion for a variety of dishes, making it both food-friendly and enjoyable on its own.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
