If this were a song it'd be "Fat-Bottomed Girls". So bodacious yet complex and full of intrigue. Honeysuckle bush on fire. Beeswax and ripe honeydew palate. Always impressed by acidity backing up its giganticness.

Tonight's wine is brought to you by Far Niente 2012 Chardonnay. A very expressive nose with notes of banana, ripe orange, peach, nice honeydew melon and some vanilla. On the palate we get complex fruit, lemon zest, banana, pear, with medium acidity, good minerality and a smooth and buttery tasty texture. Then you get a clean and refreshing finish. Very nice Chardonnay and I only had to spend $36.97 on sale.

Roasted coconut, mascarpone, lemon curd and a touch of oak on the nose. Coconut and lemon continue on the palate with some tropical notes of banana. Good balance overall.

One of CA's oldest wineries, Far Niente, founded in 1885 by world traveler John Benson. The winery flourished until Prohibition, at which time it was abandoned and fell into complete disrepair. The stately stone shell of a winery was purchased in 1979 by Gil Nickel. Tropical and stone fruit aromas with complex spice and oak notes. On the palate apple, melon and citrus flavors, creamy, with toasty oak, fig and honey tones. Lingering finish ending with vibrant acidity & mineral character. Consistent. Nice!

Old school chard style, done really well. Started off with lots of butter on the nose, evolving into golden apple, then nuttiness prevailed. Med bodied, great acid and well rounded.
