2021 | Vivino 4.4 Pts
Opens with aromas of lemon zest, kumquat, toasted almonds, hint of wet stone & flint, light fresh cut herbs. This wine immediately enchants with a silky entry & vibrant flavors of grilled citrus, light green melon & toasted oak that expand across the mid palate all the way until the finish.
About Winery
Founded in 1885 by Gold Rush Forty-Niner John Benson, Napa Valley's Far Niente prospered until Prohibition forced its abandonment in 1919. In 1979, Gil and Beth Nickel purchased and meticulously restored the stone shell, excavating North America’s first modern wine caves and successfully resuming winemaking with their 1982 vintage.
Far Niente, which translates from Italian to "without a care" or "sweetness of doing nothing", has grown to become a benchmark Napa Valley producer.
