Oaky

Far Niente Winery

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2017

Dining at Lago at Bellagio. Despite an eclectic tapas menu inclusive of bruschetta, caprese salad, tenderloin with peppercorn sauce, and linguine al pesto, this wine was a perfect choice. Fuller-bodied without being overpowering; slightly oaky with a nice minerality. — 5 years ago
