The wines have received numerous accolades from critics, including 100 point score from Robert Parker for the 2013 vintage of The Judge Chardonnay. Their 150-acre Atlas Peak estate allows Kongsgaard to get their grapes from one of the three highest vineyards in all of Napa Country. This elevation not only allows for captivating views but also cool-climate, European-style wines that are compelling for every occasion.

Tasting Notes

WA94
Aromas of tapenade, bacon fat, and scorched earth emerge from the 2007 Syrah Hudson Vineyard. The complex aromatics are followed by rich, thick flavors with elegance as well as good definition. There is slightly more minerality apparent in this full-bodied 2007 than in the 2008. Drink it during its first decade of life.
