HED67520 75cl 14%
The Judge Vineyard is located in the eastern foothills of Napa Valley. It is owned by the Kongsgaard family, who have been making wine here since the 1970s. The vineyard is particularly known for its Chardonnay grapes, which are highly regarded for their quality and expressiveness. Kongsgaard produces wines in limited quantities, with a commitment to craftsmanship and quality over quantity. Their wines, including those sourced from The Judge vineyard, are highly sought- after and are often allocated to a select group of clients.

The 2015 Chardonnay The Judge has turned out beautifully. Like the Napa Valley Chardonnay, The Judge is a hushed, quiet wine. Whether it ever develops into a more typically exuberant, flamboyant wine in the more classic Kongsgaard mold remains to be seen. Today, the 2015 speaks to finesse, nuance and understatement. There is lovely depth and texture of fruit. As always, the Judge is marked by a distinct oiliness, but the 2015 is less overtly flamboyant than other past vintages have been. - Antonio Galloni

Kongsgaard

Kongsgaard

Kongsgaard is a name that echoes through the valleys of Napa as one of the most distinguished boutique wineries in the region. Founded by John Kongsgaard, whose winemaking philosophy is deeply rooted in minimalism and a profound respect for the land, the estate produces wines that are powerful yet nuanced. Kongsgaard’s approach involves minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to speak for itself through the vines. The estate is particularly renowned for its Chardonnay, which exhibits intense minerality, vibrant acidity, and a rich, complex palate. In addition to Chardonnay, Kongsgaard’s Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also enjoy cult status, with small production volumes ensuring their rarity and desirability. These wines are a true reflection of Napa Valley’s potential to produce world-class, terroir-driven wines.
