I really enjoyed this wine! I think of all Chardonnays, Chablis is my favorite!
Light straw color. Traditionally Chablis is unoaked. I like oaked Chardonnays but Chablis is a very special wine.
Nose is layered with apple, pear, floral aromas. On the palate dry, crisp, flavors of apples, citrus, little minerality. Nice, medium finish. Very classic and very pleasant.

“The finest Cabernet Sauvignon I have ever tasted from Far Niente may be the 2007 Estate. Its dense purple color is accompanied by fragrant aromatics of creme de cassis, spice box, underbrush, and forest floor. Voluptuously-textured and full-bodied with superb purity and depth as well as a layered, complete finish, this terrific wine should be drinkable before the 2006, but age just as long 20-25+ years. “

Dark ruby color. On the nose lot’s of cherries, plum, smoked meat, licorice. On the palate dry, fruity, ripe blackberries, vanilla, spices. Soft tannins, little unusual noticeable acidity, but balances good with jammy, syrupy flavors of this wine. Long, lush finish.
