WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Why? Don�t miss this rare chance to own a few bottles of Cabernet sourced from the vineyard directly adjacent to Spottswoode Cabernet ($150/bottle). This 4 acre vineyard was traditionally the backbone of Far Niente Cabernet�s finest vintages. Tastes? Silky SMOOOOOTH, stylish and rich, this Cabernet Sauvignon impresses with classically elegant, age-worthy fruit and plush texture. The color is a beautiful garnet and the aromatic perfume reveals the ripeness of the fruit at harvest. The wine opens with concentrated flavors that include blackberry, spice, vanilla and a hint of minty read more...chocolate that will expand with time. This new release features beautiful structure and complexity, the wine's silky tannins marry with the oak, creating layers of interest that progress into a very long finish. This is a SERIOUS collector wine that actually tastes �fancy!� and will reward big Cabernet lovers for the next 7 � 10 years. (hide)
