Kosta Browne's Chardonnay One Sixteen is open and very pretty. A wine of pure texture, the 2012 impresses for its soft, caressing personality. Lemon peel, white flowers and spices all flesh out in a resonant, highly appealing Chardonnay. I would prefer to drink the 2012 in its youth, while the fruit remains vibrant. Light tropical-inflected notes linger on the close. As has been the case for the last few years, the Chardonnay was done partly in oak. Vineyard sources include Zio Tony, El Diablo, Searby, Ulises Valdez, Charles Ranch and Heinz.- Antonio Galloni (02/2014)
