98 pt & Wine Enthusiast Top 100 | 2019 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
Wine Enthusiast Top 100
Experience craftsmanship at its most masterful and ready for the holidays. This etched bottle, is made from the finest blocks of our Martin Stelling Vineyard and aged in hand-selected French oak barrels, our legendary Oakville estate-bottled Cabernet Sauvignon displays classic elegance upon release … and continues to thrill the palate over time.
From the first swirl, notes of espresso, blueberry and dark cherry immediately waft from the glass and envelop the senses. The 2019 Far Niente Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is silky and seductive on entry with flavors of blackberry and cocoa. This wine is beautifully textured with well-integrated tannins and a finish that is smooth and long-lasting.
Nicely restrained, like luxe dark chocolate, this well-balanced and brooding wine shows Far Niente at the top of its game, wrapping fine-grained tannins around superb cassis, black cherry, and blueberry flavors that will expand and gain complexity with time.
