Vine Cliff 2009 Proprietress Reserve Chardonnay 750ml

Far Niente Aromas of Meyer lemon, toasted nuts and fig are supported by the underlying sweetness of honeysuckle. The entry is honeyed with ripe citrus, light melon and well-integrated nuttiness and a touch of mineral. A rich, full midpalate with balanced acidity draws out into a long finish. Wine Spectator 2008 - Crisp, flinty and tightly wound. A sour melon, pineapple and leesy-citrusy edge gives this a fresh, vibrant mouth-feel, ending with a sour green apple flavor that's clean and refreshing. Drink now through 2014. Score: 89 - James Laube, July 2010.
