Community Tasting Notes 44

  August 1, 2020 - I don’t think it’s past its window today, but I won’t wait to drink the others I purchased.
  
  This was dry, balanced, tart, and rich. Preference wise, we tend to like the chardonnays with more oak. But this was an equisite expression of California Chardonnay!

  November 10, 2019 - whether you like this wine or not depends on your tolerance for oak - there's a forest of it here. Not my style and (IMO) the wines age poorly. I would drink these wines young and cold. I have seen tasting notes using the term "Burgundian"; it is not that (at least the traditional pre-premox wines)

  October 1, 2019 - Beautiful golden tinged color. Still retains some freshness despite being 11 years old. A well crafted wine.

  March 15, 2018 - (at Magdalena – Baltimore) Another wonderful bottle of Kongsgaard Chardonnay – one of my favorite wines from California. This is big and rich with a nutty, caramel character that is beautifully balanced by zippy structure. I will drink up the remaining bottles soon as I don’t know how long it will remain this good.

  October 2, 2017 - Deep golden color followed by a deep, rich, full California Chardonnay. Brown butter, wood and honeysuckle fruit on the nose. Full palate but surprisingly bright finish. Maybe missing a touch in the middle compared to the best vintages. A very good wine. (92)
