I feel these are a bit overrated particularly at this price point.

Well rounded Cab, on the lighter side. Makes for easy drinking and pairs well with dinner.

Crowd pleaser.

From the Far Niente winery. Got a taste of their new ‘18 offering. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with spice and sweet oaky notes. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry and plum with licorice, vanilla and toasty cacao. Tannins are fine, a bit tight, long finish ending with fruit and toasty earthy spice. Give this some time, I tucked a few bottles in the cellar, will report back.

Wow, this is interesting coming from the illustrious Far Niente. Nice round, chewy, cab. Approachble, 40 bucks. Quite the sweet spot. I will rebuy and put it through my full process. Alc comes across a bit hot. But otherwise, very good.

From the Far Niente winery. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with floral spice and oaky notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry, blackberry and red plum with licorice, vanilla, leather and espresso. Tannins are fine, a bit tight, long finish ending with fruit, toasty cedar and earthy spice. Enjoyable now but a few years will reward. Pair this with a fillet mignon with a Cabernet sauce.

Not buttery so enjoyed. Chase brought over for burgers. Would repurchase.

Like this better than some more expensive bottles that taste like they contain granulated sugar! Nice bottle. Not much time on the palate, but OK, I will drink faster!
