Kendall Jackson's reserves are usually a cut above the regular offerings from Jess Jackson's vineyards. Very hearty pinot gris here with constant ripe red grapefruit throughout. Floral notes with citrus which gives way to faint bouquet of Edam cheese as it warms. Pinot gris is usually a meal wine which complements outdoor fair such as grilled tuna or pork chops. This will also put out the fires of spicy foods like Thai or Mandarin.
Choose to enjoy it without food and you will still have a winner here. You all know how I feel about chardonnay, so if you're like me, you want that other white for your cellar. This is a good option.
Although it's not like Italian offerings, the qualities of the blue grape gone-white-in-the-bottle still survive, much magnified.
T-Scale 87+ as this is quite good and nicely priced at $14.99 - 17.99. Serve it with dinner in the winter or shelve it for the summer outdoors. Good Florida vacation wine!
