Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Kokoro is 100% Chardonnay aged 16 months in 75% new French oak. Its similar golden hue is followed by a Meursault-like nose of ripe orchard and tangerine fruits, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers, and vanilla cream. With medium to full-bodied richness, it shows the more rounded, supple, forward style of the vintage, has nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish.

The 2019 Chardonnay Kokoro is rich, dense, creamy and wonderfully expressive. Apricot, chamomile, tangerine oil and tropical fruit run through this creamy, super-expressive Chardonnay. The long, persistent finish is a thing of beauty. Kokoro is a blend of the best barrels in the cellar, Sierra Madre, Duvarita, La Rinconada and Peake Ranch in this vintage. (AG)
