Chardonnay Myrna, Far Mountain 2021

Cooked apple with hints of caramel and flint as well as stone. A touch of nougat. Medium to full body with a firmness and fine creamy texture. Crunchy fruit at the end. Very minerally with hints of lees stirring that gives it energy and stature. Drink now.

This wine is sourced from just below the peak of Bald Mountain, one of the highest points between Napa and Sonoma. A dry-farmed selection of California heritage clones and the winemaking duo of Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto. It shows the compelling nature of mountain terroir in Chardonnay. Aromatics of roasted chamomile, ripe pears, and a nuanced note of lanolin and beeswax introduce a subtlety to this wine. The palate offers a beguiling complexity, ripe pomme fruits, bruised apples, and salty sea air minerality, giving it a depth and sauvage edge along with its Meyer lemon and lemon verbena concentration.

Lifted, floral top notes and juicy fruit. Transparent on the palate with real elegance and flirtatiousness. Really quite sophisticated. 2025-2030
