Tasting note

Bella Union by Far Niente's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon should bring blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry, edged with cedar and dark chocolate. Napa Valley fruit is expected to have a full, measured palate, firm tannins giving structure and acidity balancing the ripe flavors. Its peak years run from 2028 through 2034 inside a drinking span that ends in 2041. Expect a lasting close of cassis, spice and a gentle earthy impression.
