Far Niente prospered until the onset of Prohibition in 1919, when it was abandoned and left to fall into disrepair. Sixty years later, in 1979, Gil Nickel purchased the winery and adjacent vineyard and began a three-year restoration of the property, which resulted in placement on the National Register of Historical Places. During restoration, the original name, Far Niente, from an Italian phrase that romantically translated means “without a care,” was found carved in stone on the front of the building where it remains to this day... Nineteen eighty-two marked the return of winemaking to Far Niente, with the harvest of the winery’s first Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay was also produced at the winery for the first time that year; the 1979, ’80 and ’81 vintage wines were made at an offsite location. Today, the winery continues to focus on producing only the two varietal wines.","brand":"Far Niente","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42947760128212,"sku":"Far-Niente-Chardonnay-Napa-Valley-2017","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/2836\/5149\/products\/FarNienteChardonnayNapaValley2017.jpg?v=1655891816"},{"product_id":"far-niente-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2019","title":"Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eFar Niente Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley  - It’s a classic Napa Valley Cabernet, marrying fruit from Calistoga, Oak Knoll, Diamond Mountain, Stags Leap, St. Helena and Yountville with our estate-grown fruit from Martin Stelling Vineyard.

The site’s volcanic and clay-loam soils, combined with foggy mornings and afternoon breezes, allow Chardonnay to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. Grapes are harvested and fermented in small lots, with a combination of French oak and neutral barrels to build texture without overwhelming the fruit. The wine is then aged in French oak for nearly a year, balancing richness, freshness, and a clear sense of vineyard character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1002\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003eTropical pineapple and mango, tangerine zest, honeysuckle, and hints of citrus blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003eRipe pear, white peach, and citrus layered with subtle brioche, vanilla, and a creamy mid-palate lifted by lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003eLong and focused with lingering citrus peel, stone fruit, and a chalky, mineral-tinged freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1381\"\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003eSingle-vineyard Chardonnay the highly regarded Truchard Vineyard in Carneros\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003e100% Chardonnay, highlighting a pure expression of site and variety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003e13.5% ABV, delivering ripeness and concentration without feeling heavy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1732\"\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1732\"\u003eFermentation and aging in French oak (with a mix of new and neutral barrels) for refined texture and integration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003ePraised by major critics for its balance of tropical fruit, bright acidity, and elegant oak influence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"1858\"\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"2386\"\u003eServe Nickel \u0026amp; Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 at 50–54°F in a white wine or tulip-shaped glass to showcase its aromatics and acidity.
