2014 Far Niente Estate Bottled Chardonnay [3.0L], Napa Valley
In Stock
One of the few Napa Valley Chardonnays that benefit with extended age, this statement-making 3-Liter format of 2014 Far Niente Chardonnay continues to show vibrant fruit flavor along with a richness and texture developed over time.
Tasting Notes
The 2014 Far Niente Chardonnay opens with light tropical aromas alongside melon, juicy citrus and a layer of toasted oak and mineral. The silky entry introduces bright melon and citrus notes complementary to the nose, then progresses to a creamy, structured midpalate. The long, mouthwatering finish has bright acidity with lingering citrus, toasted nuts and wet stone flavors.
Vineyard Notes
Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards, located in Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. Coombsville offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these spectacular vineyards results in the subtle, tropical flavors, complex aromas and uncommon richness that have long been associated with Far Niente Chardonnay.
