2002 Far Niente "Cave Collection" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Advocate
Review Date: 06/2012A brilliant offering from Far Niente, this blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot exhibits a dense opaque ruby/purple color as well as copious notes of ink, graphite, creme de cassis and charcoal. Layered, expansive, full-bodied and youthful, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades. It is very impressive! (RP)

Notes
Far Niente holds a portion of each vintage in reserve, releasing the wines after long-term aging. The Cave Collection allows you to enjoy older wines after they are no longer available elsewhere, and to be confident of their provenance, having been aged in ideal cellaring conditions at the winery. Just look at how many times the critics above have mentioned that this Cabernet will reward cellaring, and you can see that this offer is right on time!
