Decanter

This wine is sourced from just below the peak of Bald Mountain, one of the highest points between Napa and Sonoma. A dry-farmed selection of California heritage clones and the winemaking duo of Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto. It shows the compelling nature of mountain terroir in Chardonnay. Aromatics of roasted chamomile, ripe pears, and a nuanced note of lanolin and beeswax introduce a subtlety to this wine. The palate offers a beguiling complexity, ripe pomme fruits, bruised apples, and salty sea air minerality, giving it a depth and sauvage edge along with its Meyer lemon and lemon verbena concentration.

James Suckling

Cooked apple with hints of caramel and flint as well as stone. A touch of nougat. Medium to full body with a firmness and fine creamy texture. Crunchy fruit at the end. Very minerally with hints of lees stirring that gives it energy and stature.

Vinous

The 2021 Chardonnay Myrna is a potent wine from Far Mountain. Dry-farmed vines in the Bald Mountain vineyard yield an especially deep, savory Chardonnay typical of sites in Sonoma Valley at elevation. Readers will find a complex, dynamic wine full of earthy, mineral complexity more than forward fruit. Dried pear, sage, crushed rocks and chamomile linger on the resonant finish. This is a serious Chardonnay for the dinner table.

Notes

Sourced from Bald Mountain Vineyard that sits at 1,800ft elevation in the Mayacamas Mountains close to the Sonoma / Napa boarder. The vines were planted in 1968 on St. George 11 months in 18% New French Oak; remaining is 3-4-5 year old barrels. Lees stirring once a month.
