Far Niente Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1997

Oakville is the heart of exceptional Napa Valley Cabernet, and it happens to be Far Niente's home. It is the source and inspiration for their Cabernet wines and a large part of why these wines have achieved their lofty status. Oakville is where the Martin Stelling Vineyard was planted in the 1970s, right behind the winery. They grow, nurture, and produce the flagship Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon in Oakville which is a highly allocated and much-treasured wine. It represents a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec grapes grown in vineyards that have been cultivated for over 40 years. Its velvety texture and mouthwatering plum and blackberry flavors provide a luxurious wine-drinking experience like no other. This is truly their finest expression of Cabernet and wine craftsmanship at its highest art form.

Earthy, meaty and spicy-it's what Napa Cabernet is supposed to be. Perfectly balanced, smooth and totally correct, it has cherry and chocolate in spades and lots of grip. In the end it's all about class and performance.
