What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Reviews

Wow - such a complex wine. Tasted alongside the 05 release, this was even better - age? better year?.

Lots of vanilla and spice, apples and pears. Beautiful long finish. Good acidity. A beautiful wine. Would have purchased some if not flying home that day...

Heavy oaky wine, definitely surprised my palate (in a good way), but can be overpowering.

very smooth with a little less butter and oak that makes most california wines a little boring

I agree, the oakiness can be overpowering to the beginner chardonnay experience, but it's intricate complexity lets you enjoy this nice selection on many different levels. Overall impressive chardonnay from Far Niente.

The amazingly mellow oak is a welcome surprise in this wine. It's absolutely delicious.
