Kosta Browne, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2021

Jul 16, 2024

By Rich Cook

 Wow!  This is the goods and then some.  Its clonal mix would lead you to expect something great, and this does not disappoint.  Notes of deep lemon crème, Golden apple, and easy tropical aromas with moderate oak toast and spice aromas translate perfectly to flavors — all carried by taut structure and lingering into the distance.  Certainly one of the best Chardonnays that I have ever tasted.  Contains Montrachet, Robert Young and Old Wente clones.
