Far Niente Winery
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
This '91 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon proves what a spectacular vintage Napa produced that year. A bright translucent garnet with minuscule bricking, complex aromas of cassis, red currant, leather, espresso and tar are still evident. Totally integrated flavors of oak spice and earthy minerals add depth to the extracted mouth. Fully mature tannins smooth the long minty finish. But drink 'em if you got 'em.

Great balanced flavor, smells like cherry wood and plums (dried). Yummy! Not too sweet and not too dry or bitter. Great wine.

I have six remaining bottles of this wine from six different years. They have all at least quadrupled in value. Two of them are invaluable as I can't find them anywhere and they are the oldest with ratings well over 9. I wonder what my heirs are going to do with this wine after I pass away! Drink them? I'm sure I will roll over in my grave.
