Sipping Fine Wine

Pale golden color, complex aging, 34% new French oak-15 months, 30% stainless-4 months; 18% in Foudre for 9 months; rest concrete egg for 14 months. Aromas of stone fruits, oak, nuts, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of peach and pear with honeysuckle, integrated toasty oak and nice citrus tang. Long finish, ending with a wet stone mineral character. Outstanding! Will age well!

Wonderful 2014 Kosta Browne One Sixteen Chard. Kiwi and melon fruits with just the right balance of acidity and crispness. Complimented the Chicken Picante in lemon sauce perfectly. Only buy a bottle or 2 a year. Shared with family on Labor Day Dinner 2016!!! CB93👍

Bigger fan of the Chard than the Pinot. Nicely balanced for its weight.

Still very young, but extremely solid effort for this Cali Chardonnay vintage.

Brilliant. Bright. I was awestruck how much I enjoyed it. Great acid and barrel integration. Full of white fruits, nuts, brine and hot cinnamon. Great balance
