Kongsgaard - Chardonnay Napa Valley 2023 (750ml) Leyda Valley and more of the sameProfessional Ratings 93James Suckling The 2022 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) is typically a blend of Hyde, Hudson, Arcadia and a few others. In 2022, Hudson was not in the blend. Dried lemon peel, tangerine oil, hazelnut and chamomile unfurl in the glass. The drought conditions of the year produced a wine of considerable intensity. Its weight and viscous intensity make it a sort of mini Judge. The 2022 is very dense and phenolic.
