Mission Codename Not your average Chard

Today’s Kendall-Jackson Vineyard Estates 2012 Estate Chardonnay is, flat out, one of the best white wines we’ve tasted in quite some time.

Robert Parker awarded today’s wine 92 Points and claimed today’s wine is “…a Chardonnay that could easily sell at twice the price.” We couldn’t agree more! After spending 8 months in 50% new French oak, today’s wine is very Burgundian in nature, with a very well rounded flavor profile and elegant mouthfeel. Exotic fruit, creamy vanilla, and toasted hazelnuts come together to form one luxurious white wine.

We LOVED today’s wine, and firmly believe you will too. Cheers!

Here’s how WIA Works:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll revisit the TOP hits of 2024. Our favorite winemaker. The top Italian. A treasured cult selection, and the ever-popular most wanted Napa Cab.

Plus many more.

  • If you're in the Facebook group, check out the pinned post and please drop your favorites. If we can, we'll work in a special Operative requests day.
  • And yes, I know some of you are trying to exercise restraint, and we apologize. But it is the season of giving, and a case of wine for yourself is self care, right?
  • The discounts, as usual, will be steep and deep. Hopefully you'll find more than a few of your favorites from the past year. Every one of these wines has proven extremely popular so we encourage you to act fast and early as quantities are often even more limited the second time around.
  • As we near the Holidays and wrap up another great year we are as ALWAYS, ever grateful for your ongoing support. It's been an amazing year and we cannot wait to do it again in 2025.
