Description
Far Niente is one of those wineries for which the terms 'iconic' and 'classic' were invented. This limited-production Chardonnay is sourced from prime volcanic and gravelly loam sites in Coombsville. Look for suggestions of white blossom, melon, tropical fruit, citrus and toast, with a smoky minerality courtesy of the volcanic ash soils. This will be magical with smoked salmon or buttered lobster.

Tasting Notes
With a mineral-driven, floral opening, this youthful wine is tight in texture, with light flavors of preserved lemon, apple and butter. A note of salty stone continues the mineral theme, the wine well balanced and complex in structure. Score - 92. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2022)
