Kongsgaard 2023 Chardonnay, Napa Valley

John Kongsgaard notes: “Since the 1996 inaugural vintage, the Chardonnay has been primarily sourced from the Carneros growers Lee Hudson and Larry Hyde.  Beginning in 2020, we have been privileged to include fruit from the spectacular Coombsville vineyard planted by Warren Winiarski.  In line with the previous bottlings, the wine is defined by tension of mineral energy and opulence, honoring its Burgundian antecedents. When Robert Parker was visiting, he called this the Bâtard-Montrachet of Napa.”
