Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon is a prestigious Napa Valley red wine from one of the region's most celebrated estates, founded in 1885 in Oakville. The 2022 vintage received 97 points from The Tasting Panel and opens with an elegant perfume of mixed berries, baking spice, dried lavender, and thyme. The full palate is layered with expansive mixed berry, black tea, toasted oak, and spice flavors. Focused and fresh, fine-grained tannins support the wine throughout, while the finish is silky, long, and lifted.

This wine is a blend of 92.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1.7% Petit Sirah, and 1% Petit Verdot. It was aged for 17 months in French oak barrels, with 65% new oak and 35% once-used. Grapes were sourced from premium Napa Valley sub-appellations including Rutherford, Calistoga, St. Helena, and Oakville. The 2022 growing season featured mild conditions with proactive vineyard management during summer heat spikes, resulting in bright and focused flavors. Winemaker Nicole Marchesi crafted this impeccably balanced and complex wine.
