Far Mountain
Myrna Chardonnay 2022
Sonoma Valley
Myrna is a dry-farmed Chardonnay from two extreme mountain and hillside vineyard sites, reflecting a focused intensity of fruit and texture. The name Myrna, meaning “beloved,” is a tribute to the exceptional qualities of Chardonnay that captures intense minerality, texture, and a broad spectrum of flavors. Grown in the rugged terrain of the Mayacamas mountains, the vineyard’s remote location offers a breathtaking setting, with steep roads winding through towering redwoods to reach the high elevation of Bald Mountain. Here, Myrna expresses a rare purity and precision, making it a beloved reflection of its extraordinary terroir.
VINTAGE
The 2022 Moon Mountain vintage was shaped by limited rainfall, leading to a slightly earlier harvest and lower yields. This resulted in intensely concentrated flavors and deep color. Consistent summer weather preserved acidity, ensuring freshness and balance in the wines. The combination of ripe fruit, structure, and vibrancy suggests wines with both immediate appeal and strong aging potential. Overall, 2022 delivered a powerful yet well-balanced vintage with great depth.

Reviews
Wine Enthusiast - December 16, 2025 "A whisper of flinty reduction dances on the nose of this Chard, swirling with aromas of apple skin, Meyer lemon peel, and citrus blossoms. The palate delivers a pop of bright lemony acidity, rich texture, and loads of minerality, with flavors of green pear, nectarine, cinnamon, and ginger though a long and satisfying finish."

Fission is a wine of texture, with the intensity and concentration we associate with old vines.
