Far Niente Winery Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016

$59.99

Far Niente makes one of Napa Valley's classic Chardonnays - limited. The Far Niente 2016 Estate Chardonnay Napa Valley offers up a bevy of aromas of melon, hazelnut, citrus, fig and spice are complimented by toasty notes in the nose. The palate offers a full entry with floral notes that lead through layers of fruit that give structure and complexity. The length and balance are impressive as they lead to a mouth watering finish. Far Niente Chardonnay is a careful blend of estate vineyards that grow in the cooler southern areas of the Napa Valley. Once winemaker Stephanie Putnam determined when to pick each block, the grapes were hand picked, sorted, pressed and then the juice was settled. Fermentation in french oak barrels usually lasts about three weeks and then the wine is aged on its yeast for another 8-9 months before the final blend is determined.

Lemon and oak nose. Vanilla and citrus on the palate with a buttery smooth texture. A clean acid finish. This is a classic Napa chard.

Minerally yet moderately fruit-forward with notes of apple, pear, and honey. Perfect with halibut.

Drinking the 2016 in 2018. Clear golden color. Long lasting legs. Bouquet is rich with apple and honeysuckle. Very smooth crisp flavor for a young wine. Hints of pears, apple and oak. Very nice wine for a light meal or summer afternoon.
