Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

1 of CA's oldest wineries, Far Niente, founded 1885 by John Benson. Winery flourished until Prohibition, when it was abandoned & fell into complete disrepair. Stately stone shell of a winery purchased in 1979 by Gil Nickel. A big wine! Tropical and stone fruit aromas with complex spice and oak notes. On the palate apple, peach and citrus flavors, creamy, with buttery toasty oak, fig/honey tones. Long finish ending with vibrant acidity & mineral character. Consistent. — 6 days ago

Love this GSM. Great balance, it’s at the right age and tastes so delicious. Smooth, velvety, dark fruits, and I want to get more ASAP — 4 years ago

2020. My second February enjoying a bottle of this delicious Rosato! The fruit flavors and crisp finish paired so well with marinated tomatoes.
I need to order more than one bottle of the next vintage so I can try it in the summer… — 3 years ago

An electric violet zing plus hoofprints in a storm, the balm to a long day of zooms at home in the era of coronapocalypse. — 5 years ago
