Discover the sophisticated allure of Far Mountain’s 2019 Chardonnay, crafted from premium grapes grown in the renowned Sonoma Valley and Mount Veeder mountain vineyards of California. This expertly blended wine delivers a harmonious balance of complexity and elegance, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs seeking a distinctive white wine experience.

Floral Nuances & Minerality
Opening with vibrant floral aromas reminiscent of spring blossoms, this Chardonnay transitions seamlessly into a rich tapestry of tropical and stone fruits—ripe pear, crisp apple, and zesty Meyer lemon—infused with subtle hints of flint and wet stone. The mountainous terrain of Sonoma Valley imparts a striking mineral-driven character, while oak aging adds a touch of salty creaminess without overpowering the natural fruit purity.

Texture & Balance
With a lush yet agile mouthfeel, this wine combines weighty layers of exotic fruit sweetness from Bald Mountain’s vines with bright citrus acidity from Thornton’s cooler slopes. The result is a sappy, textured sip that evolves into a structured finish laced with warm spice notes. Its creamy depth pairs effortlessly with rich dishes like creamy pasta or buttery seafood, yet its lively acidity ensures versatility at the table.

Awards & Expert Praise
Recognized by Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling with 94 points each, this Chardonnay showcases Far Mountain’s commitment to precision winemaking. Critics highlight its polished minerality and phenolic texture, calling it an impressive debut that ages gracefully or shines now.

Crafted for Every Occasion
At 14% alcohol, this full-bodied yet balanced white wine offers both immediate enjoyment and cellar potential. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or celebrating a special moment, its layered complexity and crisp finish make it an ideal choice for those who appreciate nuanced California Chardonnays that stand apart from mass-produced alternatives.
