2007 Far Niente, Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville

Far Niente's dedication to estate-owned vineyards, especially the renowned Martin Stelling site nestled in Oakville's western foothills, grounds their Cabernet Sauvignon in a philosophy of meticulous stewardship and organic practices. The 2007 growing season, marked by a moderate summer and an extended, even ripening period, facilitated optimal phenolic development at restrained sugar levels. This climatic profile allowed for a balanced extraction, yielding a wine of notable structural integrity. The resulting Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits superb density and a firm, yet polished tannin framework, ensuring considerable age-worthiness.
