Merchant's description

“Far Niente’s signature style is sometimes hard to put into words, but when you taste it, you know it. There’s a feeling to it," says Far Niente Winemaker Nicole Marchesi. The 2021 vintage opens with aromas of darks mixed berries, blackberry pie, bay leaf, chocolate-covered espresso beans, toffee, and black olive tapenade excite the senses. Upon entry, the palate is plush and velvety, coated with mixed berry flavors supported by firm and finegrain tannin. A long, juicy finish that is almost saccharine with trailing notes of caramelized sugar. Rich and full, this Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is incredibly age-worthy. Far Niente
