Vinous – 95 Points (2019)

Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay hails from the unique blocks of the Hudson and Hyde vineyards in the Napa Carneros that have been ours since we began in 1996. The Chardonnay is superbly energetic and balances acidity, fruit, and minerality at levels of concentration we find awe-inspiring. A significant aspect of the Kongsgaard Chardonnay signature develops in the second year of barrel aging on the lees. This technique, which John imported from Burgundy long ago, sculpts the dazzling finish, which those familiar with Meursault will admire. The Wine Advocate agrees, noting “amazing freshness and layers of densely packed citrus flavors; the finish is epically long and zesty. Wow.”
