  Pale yellow. Pineapple and fresh citrus accompanied by sweet-tart Braeburn apples. Zero oak. Needs some time to open. Perhaps a little too much of niente.

  Pop & poured. Drinking great straight out of the bottle. It seems the Far Niente style is becoming more and more of a tropical fruit oak bomb with each passing vintage.

  Far Niente's 2022 Napa Chardonnay is a light golden wine with aromatics that fully open 30-60 minutes after popping the cork, at which time it unfurls an intense array of citrus, apricots, Bartlett pears, honeysuckle and wet stones. Medium-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (14.3%) and with proportionate oak, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and has good mid-palate density. Concluding long and crisp, this is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay and an outstanding effort from Far Niente. Drink now-2030.

  Aromas of apple, pear, lemon custard, coconut and spice. Red apple, lemon custard, spice and vanilla bean on the palate. Very long finish. Nice balance. Served with crab cakes and remoulade sauce.

  Got this at Costco. While young, this was still showing nicely - enticing, rich, fruity notes. Quite balanced. I've been to the winery, which is a nice experience.
