98 pt & Wine Enthusiast Top 100 | 2019 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
"Juicy, mouthwatering and velvety smooth" are just a few ways we've heard this carefully cellared Cave Collection vintage described. "Balanced, with coating tannins" is another, making this a gorgeous Cabernet to enjoy both now and later. One for your table, two for your cellar.
Just a dash of Petit Verdot is added to this wine, with the Cabernet Sauvigon coming from the Martin Stelling Vineyard that stands regally behind the winery. This starts off with soft aromas of cassis and red cherry, which appear on the palate that’s built by sizable tannins and texture. The richness is defined in dark chocolate, with just enough acidity to keep the mouthfeel succulent and lush. Editors’ Choice. —V.B.
