Over the years the Far Niente Cabernet has evolved into a bigger, bolder version of the earliest vintages. The 2012 is robust and layered, exhibiting richness on the palate, exceptional depth and weight, and succulent black-fruited aromas that linger through an extraordinarily long finish. This is a classic Far Niete Cab, one of the finest in a long line of stellar vintages from one of the Napa Valley’s most distinguished producers. It could certainly benefit from additional time in the cellar, but won’t disappoint if opened tonight.
