Kosta Brown One Sixteen Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2019 750ml

A gorgeous mlange of quince, green apple, pear, and persimmon balanced by undertones of toast and delicate oak. On the palate, pure varietal characteristics with a balanced richness and bright acidity.

Critical Acclaim

96 Jeb Dunnuck

A beautiful Chardonnay, the 2019 Chardonnay One Sixteen reveals a medium gold hue as well as a crisp, vibrant nose of honeyed lemon and orchard fruits intermixed with toasted brioche, honeysuckle, white flowers, and a touch of toasted almonds. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied, has bright yet integrated acidity, and a clean, incredibly classy, lengthy finish. Give bottles a year or three and enjoy over the following decade.

94 James Suckling

Inviting aromas of baked green apples, lemon curd and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity and a lot of lightness and airiness. Clean, clear and linear. The citrus character gets warmer as it progresses into more grapefruit and orange with a hint of lime leaf.

91 Wine Spectator

Crisp and structured flavors of dried apple, sage and green nectarine are filled with minerally nuances in this version. Crunchy acidity on the finish, with hints of honey and allspice.
