Far Niente Releases 2004 Estate Cabernet
Filed under: Wine
The famed Far Niente winery in Napa Valley recently released their 2004 Estate Cabernet. The wine which is a Cabernet Sauvignon blend (86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot) is one of the most well-regarded Napa Valley Cabs and the 2004 looks to be a well-received vintage.. The wine is for storing rather than for drinking right away (or decant if you have issues with delayed gratification). The wine has the blackberry, cherry, plum and cocoa flavors usually associated with the big Napa Cabernets. This wine usually sells out fast and Porthos is offering a 10% discount so that the $110 bottle at the vineyard will cost you $99 if you go through Porthos. They are also throwing in free shipping for those buying six or more bottles.
