Far Niente - Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 75cl Bottle

Product Description

The 100-acre Martin Stelling Vineyard, located behind the winery in Oakville, is the cornerstone of the Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon program. Planted on some of the most beautiful, gravelly loam soil in the Napa Valley, the vineyard is composed of two distinct areas. The lower portion uniformly produces wines with supple, sweet tannins & bright, forward fruit. Halter Valley, which is the extension of the vineyard that starts into the foothills of the Mayacamas, is composed of gently rolling knolls. This section of the vineyard

Includes:: more diverse individual blocks that provide wines of great tannin & structure. This vineyard, together with a small contribution from the Sullenger Vineyard at Nickel & Nickel, produces Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of boysenberry & blackberry pie, tobacco leaf, cassis & toasted oak. The wine is chewy on entry, with black cherry fruit supported by warm, spiced oak. Thick & structured, the wine lingers on the palate with flavours of boysenberry, cherry & spice. The wine's big, firm tannins are hallmarks of great ageing potential.
