"Dan Kosta and Shane Finely have worked together since 2006, when Finley, at age 26, began working in the cellar at Kosta Browne. These guys are having a lot of fun with Convene, the label Kosta launched in 2019. After their entry-level bottlings, the Convene label represents the 'Premier Cru' level wines, while DK Grail is the 'Grand Cru' tier. They are unquestionably 'Holy Grail' worthy. Finley and Kosta are big fans of longer ageing and extended lees contact with their Chardonnays. We tasted in February 2024, and they'd just bottled their 2022s. Super expressive nose with wonderful ripe fruit flavours alongside butterscotch and toasty brioche. Wonderfully rich and full-bodied with plenty of salty mineral tension. Partial malolactic fermentation means the wine retains great tension, vibrancy, and freshness. Flavours run the spectrum from Meyer Lemon to apricots and white peaches. Crushed Marcona almonds are entangled in the finish, and I find this a balanced expression of California Chardonnay with the right amount of toasty richness and acidity."

About This Wine

2021 CONVENE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY CHARDONNAY Convene, a rising star in the world of fine wines, traces its roots to Dan Kosta, co-founder of Kosta Browne. Kosta, a luminary whose 2011 creation secured the coveted title of Wine Spectator's #1 Wine, needs no further introduction. Shane Finley, Convene's masterful winemaker, has honed his craft since 2006 within the hallowed cellars of Kosta Browne. Under the tutelage of Dan and Michael Browne, he absorbed a wealth of knowledge, culminating in a fruitful collaboration to create exceptional Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays sourced from California's diverse terroirs. The 2021 Chardonnay exemplifies Convene's unwavering commitment to excellence. Meticulously crafted from grapes sourced from select vineyard sites like Bucher Home Ranch, Bucher Rudd, Stilling, and Pratt-Irwin, this Chardonnay undergoes extended lees aging. This meticulous process results in a captivating wine boasting a distinctive profile where toasted brioche and roasted nuts meld seamlessly with lively fruit notes, intriguing mineral undertones, and invigorating acidity.
