Kongsgaard
Kings Farm Chardonnay
@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.
Out of the 3 whites, I guessed they were all 2012s (they were). I ended up guessing this was Marcassin based on the smoked waxy note I got with this (always get with Marcassin). It wasn’t buttery, but it wasn’t overly sulfuric. It had low acidity too and a fair amount of fruit. This ended up being most (including mine) white of the night.

Beautifully crafted with lemon oil additions to its tropical fruit salad and toasty oak flavors. Very, very good but I preferred 2011.

Jul 18th, 2015This is starting to integrate very well. The oak and fruit are starting to calm down since I tried it last, which was definitely necessary. This is made from the Hudson and Hyde barrels Konggsguaed decided to not use in his standard curve.

Feb 20th, 2016Really great - especially for the price point. Very hedonistic. Vanilla lemon surprising acidity for the style
