2017 Kongsgaard, Chardonnay, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 96

The 2017 Chardonnay slips sensuously out of the glass with beguiling notions of creme brulee, orange blossoms and lemon curd over a core of apricot tart and pineapple upside down cake plus a waft of marzipan. The full-bodied palate is stacked with exotic fruit and citrus layers, structured by a satiny texture and bold freshness, finishing very, very long. Wow! [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 11/01/2019]

Kongsgaard’s 2017 Chardonnay is gorgeous. Soft, supple and nuanced with no hard edges and terrific balance, the 2017 is already a very pretty wine. Orchard fruit, floral notes and light tropical inflections all grace this exquisite, super-elegant Chardonnay from Kongsgaard. There is so much to look forward to. [Antonio Galloni, 12/14/2018]
