2022 Kongsgaard


2022 Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay...$139.99
Our historic blend of the Hudson and Hyde vineyards is augmented in 2022 with fruit from the spectacular Coombsville estate planted by Warren Winiarski for a wine of both energy and opulence. In line with the previous bottlings, the wine is defined by the tension of citrus and honeyed aromas over a vibrant, saline, mineral finish. When Robert Parker was visiting, he called this the Bâtard-Montrachet of Napa.
(no reviews yet, but it is always stunning)


Extremely limited and very rare - order online while it lasts
2022 Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay...$449.99
From the 6-acre original planting with some vines going back to the 1970s, this gnarly old vineyard miraculously gives us, year in year out, a wine completely unique in the world and offers proof of the French adage that the greatest vineyards are not subject to much vintage variation. It’s like a riddle: how can a wine be so sublimely subtle and so unbelievably intense at the same time? The Judge (John’s father) would have been 102 this year.
