Far Niente Chardonnay 2021 (750ML)

96 JS / 92 WS

Richly aromatic with notes of white fig, and citrus blossom, this captivating Chardonnay slowly builds on the palate, progressing from silky notes of honeydew, nectarine and lemon zest to a full finish supported by elegant, toasted oak. Crisp minerality and juicy acidity lift and support the generous fruit and provide the framework for graceful aging. This wine will continue to gain richness and complexity in the bottle and glass.-James Suckling

Precise and aromatic, with notes of fresh ginger, lemon thyme and lemongrass to complement the core of lemon curd, yuzu, Honeycrisp apple and lime sherbet, while hints of toast and green tea linger on the finish.-MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator
