The 2013 Kongsgaard “The Judge” Chardonnay is a powerful, rich, and intense wine known for its great depth and complexity. It exhibits aromas of lemon oil, pastry, white pepper, and chamomile, evolving into flavors of apricot, fig, honeydew, and citrus with notes of honeyed white peaches and crme brle, all balanced by minerality. The wine is full-bodied with a long, resonant finish.

Producer Information

Kongsgaard is a cult California wine producer widely renowned for making richly textured yet elegant Chardonnays, which are among the very best in California. The wines have received numerous accolades from critics, including Robert Parker who gave the 2013 vintage of The Judge 100 points, calling it “certainly one of the greatest Chardonnays I have ever tasted”. John Kongsgaard is one of the most lauded winemakers in the US, having previously made wine for Newton, Luna and Arietta. He makes numerous other highly rated wines, including a Napa Valley Chardonnay from Carneros fruit, a Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend called Fimasaurus, a Hudson Vineyard Syrah and an Albario. The Kings Farm (the translation of Kongsgaard) range are the “little brothers and sisters” of the main brand. These wines are made in small quantities and initially only available to mailing-list customers.
