The top of the Kendall-Jackson pyramid, in terms of both price and quality, are the single-vineyard offerings. All of these wines performed well. The 1996 Chardonnay Paradise Vineyard exhibits a smoky, tropical fruit-scented nose, followed by rich, roasted herb, intensely honeyed fruit flavors. The wine possesses good underlying acidity, excellent purity, and a long, lush, hedonistic finish. Drink this delicious, complex Chardonnay over the next several years. Tel.
