Notes from Far Niente:
"Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon embodies our passion and commitment to making the very best wine possible. The result is classically structured Cabernets that are rich in texture, layered in flavor, complex, and long. Our Cabernets display the typical cassis and blackberry notes along with spicy oak aromas that have become synonymous with the Far Niente house style."
"A mild summer followed a fairly dry winter and cool, long spring, which allowed the moderate crop load to ripen slowly and consistently. A period of very warm weather during the first half of August just after veraison brought some unevenness in coloration but thinning fruit achieved more even ripening of the grapes that remained. The long, mostly cool growing season resulted in extended hang time for the grapes, allowing fruit to develop with extraordinary flavor development and ripe tannins."
