There are not too many wineries that are as notable and as consistent as Far Niente. Their beloved Napa Valley Cabernet comes from a who’s who of the best vineyard sites in Napa. It’s a seamless Cabernet blend sourced from Oakville, Stag’s Leap, Diamond Mountain, St. Helena, Calistoga, Oak Knoll and the winery’s estate fruit in Yountville.
It’s always absolutely killer – so they have no problem fetching the release price of $160/btl. In fact, they usually have a problem keeping enough inventory in stock to last the year. But in 2021, they’ve outdone themselves, releasing a Cabernet that is already one of the highest scored in the wine’s history. 97 Points from James Suckling, 96 more from Jeb Dunnuck and this restaurant and collectors favorite is in rare air. This is not to be missed.

Blackcurrants, fresh mint and thyme, together with black olive-skin character here. It’s full and tannic with classic structure and depth. Solid.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Estate is beautiful, with a perfumed, blue-fruited style as well as classic Cabernet smoked tobacco, flowery incense, spice, and chocolaty notes. Coming from the Stelling Vineyard, not far from Harlan, and made by Nicole Marchesi with consulting advice from Thomas Rivers Brown, this full-bodied, layered, very complete 2021 should round into form with just a few years of bottle age and evolve for 15-20 years. It’s a beautiful wine.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
As soon as you take the first sip on this one, you can easily see the Burgundian connection. Doglia’s Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato 2022 is medium bodied with scents of fresh cut lavender. On the palate, it’s an absolute delight, full of flavor but with an acid backbone that make it perfect to pair with almost any cuisine. Notes of wild fruits and a touch of pepper are just so good. This is a silky smooth, delicious bottle of wine.
