Description
Sourced from select blocks of the revered Stelling Vineyard on Oakville’s western bench, this exclusive Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the pure voice of a legendary site. Crafted by winemaker Nicole Marchesi in collaboration with Thomas Rivers Brown, it marries deep intensity with polished finesse in a seamless composition. Low-yielding vines rooted in alluvial gravelly loam have produced fruit of striking concentration and balance. Aged in French oak, the wine is framed by sleek tannins and a polished finish. Created exclusively for Premiere Napa Valley, this limited lot embodies Far Niente’s hallmark style, delivering an eloquent expression of Oakville’s western-bench possessing both grace and grandeur.
