2017 Far Niente Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon [1.5L], Oakville
In Stock
Our highest expression of estate-grown Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon epitomizes Far Niente's style of power and grace. This 1.5-Liter magnum is dark, supple and ideally sized for entertaining.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of mixed berry, chocolate, light earth and licorice lead into a full entry, with mixed berry flavors, a velvety mid-palate and a great backbone of coating, age-able tannin. Mouthwatering plum and blackberry flavors follow all the way through to the end. Layers of toasted oak are well integrated, adding structure and support to the ripe fruit flavors.
Vineyard Notes
The 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.
