An Oakville Cabernet that has developed nuance and depth with time, this special Cave Collection vintage fills the nose with its elegant dried fruit perfume. The palate is supple, with layered berry and spice flavors, subtle oak and a silky smooth finish.

Tasting Notes
Very concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum and huckleberry deepen to black currant, spice, tobacco
and dusty, toasted oak. The wine’s soft entry on the palate leads to notes of
licorice and black fruit, a dense mid palate and a rich and coating texture,
followed by a long and velvety finish.
Vineyard Notes
The 100-acre Martin Stelling Vineyard, located behind the winery in Oakville,
is the cornerstone of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon. Planted on some of the most
beautiful, gravelly loam soil in the Napa Valley, the vineyard uniformly produces
wines with supple tannins, bright, forward fruit, and beautiful tannin structure.
