A 100% Chardonnay from Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA, bottled at 14.3% ABV in a 750ml format. The 2023 vintage was awarded 93 points by James Suckling.
Far Niente was originally established in 1885 in Oakville, Napa Valley, and restored in 1979 by Gil Nickel. The 2023 vintage is 85% barrel fermented and 15% tank fermented, then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 45% new and 55% once-used. Malolactic fermentation is skipped entirely.
The nose opens with ripe honeydew melon and sweet citrus, white blossom florals and lemon confit, with subtle flint, yeast and gently toasted oak. The palate is smooth and focused, with honeydew, nectarine, lemon zest, lime curd and lemon verbena, creamy texture and wet-stone minerality. The finish is long and structured, with citrus rind and mouthwatering acidity.
