The 2021 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic showing in this vintage. It is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Merlot, 2.5% Malbec, 2.5% Petit Verdot and .5% Cabernet Franc. This impresses with its gorgeous aromatic profile of ripe black currants and black cherries, which are woven together with exotic spices, chocolate shavings, violets and savory herb nuances. On the palate this is every bit as impressive, full-bodied and concentrated, yet displaying remarkable overall balance. It continues to impress as plush layers of ripe dark fruits, exotic spices and violets all continue to build and resonate through the long, supple finish. This is an excellent bottle of Cabernet, and while it is impressive right now, it should go on to have a wonderful future ahead.
