Score 94/100 · Drink 2019-2036, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Feb 2018

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Estate (composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot) has notions of fragrant earth, dried leaves and Chinese five spice over a core of black cherries, black currants and blueberries plus a waft of bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense, crunchy, youthful black fruits framed by fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with an herbal lift.

Far Niente's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. Dark, voluptuous and inviting, the 2015 offers striking resonance, with silky tannins that add to the wine's sheer appeal. The flavors are bold and incisive in this dark, expressive Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Hints of mocha, chocolate, new leather and spice add lovely shades of nuance throughout.

Notes of crème de cassis, toasted spice, and sweet licorice all emerge from the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, which is based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Sweetly fruited, upfront, charming and decadently styled, with ripe tannin and moderate concentration, it’s ideal for drinking anytime over the coming decade.
