Critical Acclaim
Coombsville vineyards protected by the hills east of downtown Napa are home to this Chardonnay. They’re as cool as Carneros but less windy, with deeper soils of gravel and volcanic ash, and their influence on this dignified white shows in its complex persona. A fine balance of stone fruit, acid structure, and zingy citrus creates a tangible yet delicate mouthfeel. Honeysuckle and gardenia offer significant floral tones.
Spicy oak and bright acidity complement each other in this well-made white, which shows strong tones of crisp citrus and green apple. It builds body on the midpalate, with integrated woody notes and lasting richness.
COMMENTARY: The 2019 Far Niente Chardonnay packs satisfaction and style on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with its attractive aromas and flavors of ripe fruit and oak. Pair it with grilled halibut in a savory, cream sauce. (Tasted: February 27, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
