Vinous: 100 Points
The 2021 Chardonnay The Judge is dazzling. Bright, precise and crystalline, the 2021 possesses stunning concentration and textural intensity without being over-the-top in any way. The stylistic change here in recent years has been so remarkable. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, lemon peel and slate all grace this mind-blowing Chardonnay from John and Alex Kongsgaard.
The Wine Independent: 100 Points
The 2021 The Judge Chardonnay is slightly more closed than the Napa Chardonnay at this stage, needing some coaxing to bring out notes of ripe apricots, candied ginger, baking bread, and white truffle giving way to nuances of orange blossom, chalk dust, and lime zest with a hint of brine. The full-bodied palate is paradoxically both rich and elegant, with a myriad of savory and mineral accents complementing the mouth-coating stone fruit flavors, framed by a decadently creamy texture and great tension, finishing in a whole firework display of spices, chalk, saline-coated nuts, and things that are absolutely indescribable. A masterpiece.
