Tasting note

Far Niente's 2022 Chardonnay should open with pear, ripe apple and lemon, touched by a soft floral note. Napa Valley fruit is expected to feel ample yet bright, acidity cutting through the rounded texture and giving the palate a focused line. The projected peak spans 2025 to 2035 inside a drinking range that ends in 2039. A clean, persistent finish should carry orchard fruit into citrus zest and a faint mineral impression.
