Far Niente Winery Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
This iconic estate has produced the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Beautiful purity of expression characterizes this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, impeccably well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is dense purple and the wine offers up notes of spring flowers a touch of background licorice and wood and pure floral creme de cassis and blackberry fruit. It's full-bodied with a complete mid-palate and follow-through on the palate. The wine can be approached now, or cellared for 20 or more years. Robert Parker

For the vintage and pedigree it underperforms. Still a good wine.

Reliably good. Can't decide if this 2013 is better than the 2012.

A much more approachable style. Showing classic Napa and Oakville characteristics. More fruit forward then I remembered, but showing some depth and complexity. Will be great to see how it ages.
