| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nOpulent and elegant, the 2021 release of our Brumaire Chardonnay is filled with rich, tropical fruit flavor and a crisp acidity that begs to be paired with all of this season\u2019s adventures. An airy peach blossom and nectarine perfume leads to a palate layered with notes of fresh orchard peaches, lemon peel and cool minerality underscored by subtle baking spice and toasted oak accents. Vibrant natural acidity adds brightness and lift to the full, juicy finish.\r\nAbout Far Niente Family of Wines\r\nOur story was shaped by dreamers, doers, and craftsmen \u2014 all in pursuit of perfection in winemaking. Far Niente was founded in Oakville, California in 1885 by John Benson, a forty-niner of the California gold rush and uncle of the famous American impressionist painter, Winslow Homer. Benson hired architect Hamden McIntyre, and together they worked to create an exquisite oasis in western Oakville.\r\nFar Niente prospered until the onset of Prohibition in 1919. The gates closed, but the magic never truly disappeared from the property. Sixty years later, Gil Nickel bought and restored the winery and neighboring vineyard. This three-year-long labor of love put the label back on the map \u2014 and on the National Register of Historic Places. He preserved the Far Niente name \u2014 an Italian phrase which romantically translated means \u2018without a care.\u2019 Nickel hoped to recapture a bygone era when life was indeed without a care.\r\nTo this day, Far Niente is consistently recognized as a benchmark producer of Napa Valley Chardonnay and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Ours is an unparalleled level of time-honored winemaking traditions. This has helped establish Far Niente as one of the world\u2019s great wine estates.\r\nAbout EnRoute Winery\r\n\r\n\r\nEnRoute to a Finer Standard in Pinot Noir\r\nThe culmination of a decades-long quest to find the most preeminent locations in Northern California to produce outstanding, unparalleled Pinot Noir, EnRoute Winery was established in 2007 by the partners of Napa Valley's Far Niente. Their mission brought them to the Russian River Valley, a short distance by car \u2014 but worlds away to the keen-sensed vintner.\r\nThis valley enveloped in fog, where wet winters and springs give way to moderate summers, feels almost divinely crafted for the singular purpose of growing amazing Pinot Noir. For winemakers with a passion as strong as ours, this idyllic American Viticultural Area (ava) might as well be paradise: Year after year, the Russian River Valley's slow, consistent growing conditions allow us to attentively shepherd every step of the vinification process \u2014 and that means perfectly crafted Pinots for wine lovers like you.\r\nWe fell in love with the Russian River Valley region and built a strong commitment to expanding our winemaking efforts. Since our founding, we have established our own vineyards and a winery so that we may capture the magical essence of Pinot Noir.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSingle-Vineyard Pinot Noirs\r\nWhen we began our pursuit of the pinnacle of Pinot Noir \u2014 embodied in our \ |
