Post & Beam by Far Niente Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Vibrant, refreshing and stunningly perfumed, the Post & Beam Chardonnay opens with aromas of fresh melon and wild honeysuckle. The palate is lush and round, with silky layers of melon and baked apple spice framed by soft, toasted oak and lifted acidity.
Review:
Aromas of rich golden apple and vanilla bean lead to toasty oak, lemon zest, and salty minerality. Vibrant acidity is a focal point on the palate, along with a refreshingly bright and clean finish.

Bernard Cote Rotie Coteaux de Bassenon 2024 is made from 94% Syrah and 6% Viognier.
The harvest is destemmed, cooled and placed in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, where it stays 3 to 4 weeks with daily pump-overs and punch-downs through alcoholic fermentation. It is then aged 18 months in French oak barrels (20% new).
The fruit comes from a tiny parcel in the commune of Tupin-et-Semons, at the extreme southern end of the Cote Rotie appellation. Made from old-vine Syrah with a touch of Viognier, this cuvee shows a deep red color with purple hues and a fragrant nose of candied red fruit and roasted notes - a wine of great finesse with a delicate, long, silky finish.
Pair with beef stew, marinated red meats and sweetbreads.
