| | | The two wines are mountain Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on absolutely spectacular sites – at elevation, dry farmed, 40-50 year old vines, heritage clones, planted on old rootstocks, and very much located within rich, forested natural environments. The simple belief behind these wines is that some of the greatest potential for wine in California – and anywhere in the world – exists in remote pockets in the mountains of the Sonoma Valley. |
| The Far Mountain wines are “firm and fresh and remind me of classic California wines from the 1980s but with today’s precision.” James Suckling |
| 2019 Far Mountain ‘Myrna’ $312 6pack The word Myrna translates to “beloved”, a reflection of Far Mountain’s feelings about truly great Chardonnay: wines that can translate from their sites’ intense minerality, texture and a dazzling spectrum of flavors.
“Lemon oil, white flowers, chalk and mint give the 2019 a brilliant upper register that almost comes as a surprise once the wine shows its superb depth and persistence. This highly expressive, nuanced Chardonnay has a lot going on and plenty to offer.” — Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 points

| | | 2019 Far Mountain ‘Fission’ $390 6pack
The name Fission was ultimately chosen to reference the textural and mineral characteristics that the unique volcanic soil brings to this wine.
“A dark, potent wine, the 2019 captures plenty of mountain energy in its savory, earthy flavor profile. Dark cherry, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate all flesh out [...] This is certainly an impressive debut from Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto.” — Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 points
