Jackson Estate, Seco Highlands

Arroyo Seco Chardonnay

Kendall Jackson Jackson Estate, Seco Highlands Chardonnay is a remarkable expression of its Arroyo Seco origins. This white wine offers a beautifully balanced experience with its enticing full body and lively acidity. Delight in its pronounced fruit intensity, showcasing lush notes of ripe pear, tropical pineapple, and a hint of citrus. The oak aging is evident but restrained, contributing a subtle, creamy texture with whispers of vanilla and toasted nuts without overwhelming the vibrant fruit character. This wine’s refreshing and elegant finish makes it a quintessential choice for those who appreciate sophisticated Chardonnays. Whether paired with seafood or enjoyed on its own, this is a wine that exudes confidence and sophistication while celebrating the unique terroir of Arroyo Seco.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
