Kosta Browne One Sixteen Chardonnay 2012

Professional Ratings

• 93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  A gorgeous Chardonnay, the 2012 One Sixteen offers both incredibly classy elegance, as well as building richness and texture. Ripe stone fruits, lemon curd, white flowers, liquid mineral, brioche and toast all emerge from the glass, and this beauty has a medium to full-bodied, elegant, taut and energetic profile on the palate that keeps you coming back to the glass. Staying lively and refreshing, with vibrant acidity, this beauty will age gracefully for over a decade (although bottles would not last that long at my house).

  Tight and concentrated, with a trim mix of subtle pear, honeysuckle, green fig and apple flavors. Aromas of fresh citrus and honeydew gain through the long and persistent finish. Drink now through 2020. 2,462 cases made.

  COMMENTARY: The 2012 Kosta Browne One Sixteen Chardonnay is evolving faster than I would have guessed. Still, it’s a lovely wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is mature and delicious. Its aromas and flavors of creaminess and ripe fruit should pair well with a serving of ripe Epoisses. (Tasted: July 10, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
