The Best Western Of Wines?

Best Western may be a bit harsh to describe the 2004 Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay. Would Marriott be fair? The point is that the KJ Grand lacks character and is simply a solid yet unmemorable wine.

This is a safe pick that will be pleasant to most. Best for a gift or party where you don’t want to offend. If you’re feeling adventurous, then look elsewhere.

The fruity hints are soft and short-lived. The body is meager for the price. The 91 point rating baffles me and almost seems bought. I’d give it a 7.2 on the Griffin scale for taste and a 7.1 for value. The least expensive place I have found it is at Costco. You can also find it at Monster Market Place for a few dollars more.
