Here we have two young Chardonnays from California.
The Kistler 2022 Chardonnay Stone Flat Vineyard features notes of blossoms, quince, white nougat, and caramel - developing a decadent fruit sweetness with aeration. This full-bodied wine is well-balanced, long, and dense, and is already perfect for drinking. 19/20 points.
The Kongsgaard 2022 Chardonnay offers abundant notes of white nougat and blossoms; it is full-bodied, remarkably creamy and dense, as well as long and balanced. This powerhouse wine is sensational. 19.5/20 points.
