ワイナリーのヴィンテージノート
THE JUDGE 2010 NAPA VALLEY is Chardonnay of a scale we have not achieved until now. The cool summer in our exceptionally rocky vineyard gave the wine an extra level of energy - not just in acidity but in concentration and power. When Antonio Galloni tasted the wine - half way through its two years of barrel ageing he found "the integration of fruit, oak and minerality hugely promising,” and “layers of rich fruit hidden behind a wall of structure." As this vibrant wine continues to unfold, we are finding a beauty of awe-inspiring proportions. Usually The Judge is compared to one of the Montrachet vineyards. This one reminds us more of Corton Charlemagne. 340 cases produced.

"
This makes a profound statement about Chardonnay style. Openly
rich and smoky, yet graceful and polished, with roasted fig,
honeysuckle, baked apple, marshmallow and cinnamon-tinged
spices, gaining depth and length. Drink now through 2019. From
California.—J.L. +340 cases made " (Issue: May, 2013)

"The 2010 Chardonnay The Judge is rich, ripe and seamless, but also supported by plenty of vintage 2010 minerality. Lemon, pastry, spices and intense crushed rocks are all woven together beautifully in a focused, taut Chardonnay loaded with class and personality. Saline notes come to life on the layered, nuanced finish. A high presence of shot berries reduced yields to just one ton per acre. Most of the fruit was old Stony Hill Wente. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.
These wines from John Kongsgaard were among the highlights from the month I spent in Napa Valley this year. The overall quality level here is absolutely remarkable. It is rare to see someone who is so brilliant with so many grape varieties, but Kongsgaard seems to have the magic touch. The Chardonnays remain among the most exquisite in California. Kongsgaard favors longer elevage for his Chardonnays and is generally willing to take greater risks than most of his colleagues. No guts, no glory, as the saying goes. Well, there is plenty of glory here."(Wine Advocate #204 Dec 2012 Antonio Galloni Drink: 2012 - 2020)
インターナショナル・ワイン・セラー 94-96 ポイント (Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar)
"Pale bright yellow. Stone fruits and a whiff of smoky minerality on the pure but subdued nose. Remarkably velvety and opulent but with outstanding citrus intensity and a saline element giving the dense mid-palate a downright ethereal aspect. Best today on the palate-staining, very suave finish, which offers an enticing hint of sweetness but a lighter touch than the Napa Valley version. This really dances on the palate."
