Far Niente Chardonnay 2022 (750ml)

Far Niente Chardonnay 2022 is a Napa Valley white made from the varietal that defines California's ambition in the category. The wine sees time in oak, a technique that shapes much of what you'll find in bottles from the region, lending weight and complexity to the stone fruit foundation.

The palate shows ripe peach and citrus notes balanced against subtle spice and vanillin undertones from barrel aging. There's a creamy, textured mouthfeel that builds through the finish, with enough acid backbone to keep the wine from feeling heavy despite its richness. It's approachable now but structured enough to reward patience in the cellar.
