Oakville
2001 Far Niente Cave Collection Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
Aromas of huckleberry, dark cocoa, and chocolate are complemented by a touch of vanilla in the nose. Upon entry, this Cabernet is soft and lush, with a dense mid palate. Flavors of boysenberry and black fruits are supported by tannins that are chewy, yet smooth and lingering. There is a very long finish to this wine.

Harvest Dates
September 23 - October 16, 2000
The growing season was moderate, harvesting in late September and early October. This patience was rewarded with ripe, layered wines.
The growing season was moderate, with heat spikes in May and July leading to a "hurry up and wait" harvest. A late August heat spell suggested an early crush, but cooler weather in mid-September delayed it. We waited through the cooler period, harvesting most reds in late September and early October. This patience was rewarded with ripe, layered wines.
Far Niente Cave Collection
Designed for those who relish in the sensory pleasures of age-worthy wines, Cave Club shipments feature current and library vintages of Far Niente’s iconic Cabernet Sauvignons.
Capturing a sense of place in Napa Valley’s famed Oakville.
Oakville is prized for its gravelly, volcanic soils, and enjoys the warmth of mountain-hugged valley and the cooling influence of the bay. These conditions combine to create Cabernet Sauvignons with elegant fruit flavors and supple tannins.
