Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Joel Baxter rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is a fantastic, tasty, and food friendly wine. This bargain valued wine has abundant aromas of peach, green apple, honeysuckle, and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. Try it with Grilled Chicken, Salmon, Pork Tenderloin or Crab Cakes.
Darlene Myers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This was another one of the first wines I enjoyed when I started drinking whites. I loved the flavours of grapefruit and citrus and how it all burst of flavour in my mouth. A great Sonoma County Chardonnay with a hint of vanilla and oak to finish it off. I am looking forward to having it again.
Excellent price for a Cali Chard with this kind of intensity. Sets the scene with pineapple, sweet apricot, toast and smoke. Full body, with big fruit and oak interplay and an opulent texture. Bring on barbecue. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
