Kosta Browne Chardonnay Russian River Valley One Sixteen 2022

95 points James Suckling: "Expressive aromas of preserved lemons, lime zest, flint and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of orchard fruit, grapefruit, yellow apples and pastry. A good balance of power and finesse. Drink or hold. (12/19/24)"

94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "[$90 list] A bright yellow/silver hue, the 2022 Chardonnay One-Sixteen is a blend from across vineyards of the Russian River Valley and offers nicely detailed ripe aromas of lemon curd, beeswax, fresh flowers, and poached apples. The palate is supple and full-bodied, with good freshness of acidity that lifts its more sweetly noted fruit, and it has a clean, refreshing feel on the finish. It’s a lovely appellation wine to drink over the next 4-6 years. Drink: 2025-2031. (7/2/25)"

93 ponts Wine Spectator: "[$90 list] A bold expression of Chardonnay, offering succulent notes of butterscotch, grilled peach, lemon curd and mango puree. Smooth and creamy, with sleek acidity, plus accents of orange blossoms, lemon zest, tangerine and ginger. Mouthwatering finish. Drink now. (5/31/25)"
