{"product_id":"kongsgaard-chardonnay-2014","title":"Kongsgaard Chardonnay 2014","description":"Fifth-generation Napa natives, Maggy and John Kongsgaard began their winemaking venture in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa. The inaugural Kongsgaard wines came in 1996. The wines are produced in the family`s underground winery, a cave dug into the volcanic rock, high on the eastern rim of the Napa Valley where the Kongsgaards have planted a spectacular mountain vineyard. These intensely farmed, shy-bearing vineyards and a traditional low-intervention winemaking produce powerful, graceful wines vivid expressions of vineyard and variety. A Chardonnay with beautiful intensity and a masterful use of oak, produced in very small quantities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n“The 2014 Chardonnay is a knockout, showing loads of structure, with lemon blossom intermixed with subtle pineapple, honeysuckle and crushed rock, giving it a vivid minerality, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a long, long finish. This should drink well for 7-8 years at minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nPart mystic, part great winemaker and long-time veteran of the Napa Valley wine scene, John Kongsgaard continues to turn out a bevy of exciting and compelling wines from his family’s vineyards high in the cool, rocky soils of Coombsville in the southeastern sector of Napa Valley.” 94+ points Robert M.
