Far Niente Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
*Nicholas Note: We finally cracked through the wait list and snagged a great one: Far Niente’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is super are and super highly rated. Only 60 btls total. Text exclusive offer.
The legendary winery has considerable history, having been founded in 1885 and then abandoned in 1919 with the beginning of Prohibition. They’re one of the most well-respected and recognized producers in the whole country, with a beautiful label that Robert Parker, Jr. declared, “one of the great labels in Napa Valley and the wine clearly lives up to the aesthetic beauty of the packaging.”
For this to be our first ever offering from Far Niente, I wanted to pick a winner, and needless to say, I think this one checks off all the boxes. It’s an age-worthy beauty that was given 96-point and a Cellar Selection designate by Wine Enthusiast, and raved about by critic Jeb Dunnuck who wrote, “Nicely textured on the palate, it shows the supple elegance of the 2019 vintage, has ripe tannins, medium to full body, and outstanding length. It’s a beautifully balanced, classic 2019 to drink any time over the coming 15 to 20 years.”
Read all the reviews below… this iconic wine got a trio of big scores, as it has always been known to do.

This wine offers grippy tannin and sizable oak. Blueberry, currant, cedar and sage give it an elegance and classic structure of understated power, finishing in notes of tobacco and clove. Enjoy from 2029–2039.
95 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of dark plums, black olives, bark, dried herbs and cloves. Medium-to full-bodied with powdery tannins. Rich and creamy with chocolate and black fruit on the palate. Chewy finish with excellent length. Fresh. Drink from 2023.
94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Deep ruby-hued, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon has a textbook Cabernet nose of ripe red and black fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, spicy oak, and loamy earth. Nicely textured on the palate, it shows the supple elegance of the 2019 vintage, has ripe tannins, medium to full body, and outstanding length. It’s a beautifully balanced, classic 2019 to drink any time over the coming 15 to 20 years. The blend is 94% Cabernet, 4% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, aged 17 months in 65% new French oak.
96 Points (Cellar Selection), Wine Enthusiast – 95 Points, James Suckling
For the first time ever, we have a Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon to offer up. You know that if I am going to get something special, I have to make as big a splash as possible. A Wine Enthusiast 96-point Cellar Selection (and most likely future top 100 recipient) seemed like the one to do it. The 2019 vintage was exceptional in Napa Valley, and this is Far Niente, one of Napa’s most famous producers. Their quality is really hard to match, but at this price, it’s nearly impossible.
