Far Niente Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a 750 ml red wine made from 92.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.4% Petit Verdot. This Napa Valley bottling brings together vineyards in Rutherford, Calistoga and St. Helena alongside the winery's Oakville home.
The producer's 2023 notes describe black cherry, black currant and plum aromas, followed by blackberry, cassis and cocoa on the palate. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity balance its rich texture. The wine spent 17 months in French oak, with 61% new barrels.
For food, Far Niente recommends its Cabernet Sauvignons with steak, lamb or earthy mushroom dishes. See the 2023 Napa Valley technical sheet for this bottling's details.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 96:
Deep, dark and spicy with aromas of black and red currants, graphite, potpourri, dried flowers, herbs and wet river stones. The palate is full-bodied, offering generous texture, fine-grained tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. Great tension and purity matched by plenty of generosity.
