Kosta Browne Chardonnay One Sixteen Russian River Valley 2017 (750ML)

97 JD

A beautiful Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley brought up in 34% new French oak, the 2017 Chardonnay One Sixteen sports a medium gold color as well as a rich, powerful bouquet of caramelized citrus, white currants, toasted hazelnuts, and brioche. Deep, rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured, it has flawless balance, bright acidity, and is a profound Chardonnay that will stand beside the finest white Burgundies. Jeb Dunnuck
