Chardonnay is a prominent varietal produced in numerous regions worldwide, and the Far Mountain 2020 'Myrna' Sonoma Valley Chardonnay is a great example of its potential, showcasing a beautifully structured wine from one of California's finest wine-producing areas. This specific bottling illustrates an extraordinary expression shaped meticulously by each vintage's characteristics.
The 2020 vintage of the 'Myrna' Chardonnay benefited from a warmer-than-average growing season in Sonoma Valley, resulting in enhanced phenolic ripeness and greater density. The fruit was harvested at perfect maturity, leading to a wine that demonstrates both textural richness and complexity.
Upon tasting, expect an elegant fusion of flavors—rich layers of toast, almond, and a subtle hint of wood smoke gracefully intertwine with notes of Bosc pear, fennel, and marzipan. These flavors are complemented by lifted stone-fruit and lime aromatics, contributing to the overall aromatic profile. Moreover, its bright acidity and salinity create a refreshing balance, culminating in a long, persistent finish that invites savoring.
A testament to its quality, the wine has received prestigious ratings. Wine Enthusiast scored it 94 points while Wine Spectator awarded it 92 points. Such accolades highlight the wine's sophisticated character and pedigree.
