Fruit forward on the nose with fresh blueberries, grphite & a hint of spicy green pepper. The palate is bright with herbal flavors & ripe berries. — 11 years ago

Bouquet spot on for Margaret River Chardonnay. Palate starts a little green with plenty of acid perhaps suggesting another 4 years required in the bottle. Finish is smooth and delicious and runs well over a minute.
Don't drink it too cold - let it warm a little.

Delicious white flowers, crisp green apples, and a lovely acidity/ mineral that keeps you coming back. — 12 years ago
#KostaBrowne Chardonnay from Russian River. Need to breathe breathe breathe before enjoying the wines! A bold chard with interesting aroma of cooked pineapple! Balanced wine with cooked pear favour on palate.
I like the name '116' - the hwy cuts through the town of Sebastopol in the Russian River Valley sub-appellation of Green Valley. :)

If you're one of those people who can't stand chard try this. Ripe tropical and green fruits, bright acidity, spicy yeast tones, long dry mouth watering finish. Love it. — 10 years ago
Just what a mature Chardonnay should taste like. Just the right balance of fruit and Carmel. Still the color of hay with just a bit of spring green. — 12 years ago
