Far Niente, Oakville (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

($158):  Consumers can count on Far Niente, a leader in Napa Valley Cabernet, to produce a bold, yet refined, Cabernet Sauvignon.  The 2015, fruitier than usual while still combining savory and dark earthy flavors, fits that mold.  Fine tannins impart a supple texture that allows for immediate enjoyment.  Long and complex, it’s a wonderful combination of sweet fruit and savory notes.  It’s ideal now with a steak. 91 Michael Apstein Jan 2, 2018
