"COMMENTARY: Do I remember the 1979 Far Niente Chardonnay? I bought three cases, and it was one of the most dramatic wines I had ever sold as a retailer. When I approached the 2017 vintage, my palate was recalling the passages of time. Though my notes are buried somewhere amongst hundreds of composition books, my memory remains fond and warm of those 30 years of Chardonnays. The 2017 vintage is quite fine. TASTING NOTES: This wine underscores the importance of cool grape growing regions in producing the best wines. Its aromas and flavors of dried peach, crisp apple, and oak accents will pair it nicely with shellfish in a lavish cream sauce." |
