Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 The Fimasaurus conjures notions of cassis, blackberry tart and black forest cake with touches of black loam, cedar box, tree bark and beef drippings. The structure on the full-bodied palate is very firm with a good core of lively black fruits and plenty of freshness, finishing with lingering mineral and earth hints.

Producer Information

Kongsgaard is a cult California wine producer widely renowned for making richly textured yet elegant Chardonnays, which are among the very best in California. The wines have received numerous accolades from critics, including Robert Parker who gave the 2013 vintage of The Judge 100 points, calling it “certainly one of the greatest Chardonnays I have ever tasted”. John Kongsgaard is one of the most lauded winemakers in the US, having previously made wine for Newton, Luna and Arietta. He makes numerous other highly rated wines, including a Napa Valley Chardonnay from Carneros fruit, a Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend called Fimasaurus, a Hudson Vineyard Syrah and an Albario. The Kings Farm (the translation of Kongsgaard) range are the “little brothers and sisters” of the main brand. These wines are made in small quantities and initially only available to mailing-list customers.
