Description

Two (2) bottles of Far Niente 2002 Chardonnay and two (2) bottles of Far Niente 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon. Far Niente consistently scores in the 90's in blind tasting and this wine is no exception. Of the Chardonnay, Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it a 91 and said, "A pure pear and tropical fruit that is elaborately oaked in really good barrels. It is fancy and detailed but not blowsy." The Cabernet scored a 94 and Wine Enthusiast said, "In the wines youth, the aroma of new oak dominates, with that smoky, minty, spicy-char note. But in the mouth the fruit explodes in intensely ripe black currants and milk chocolate. The tannins are rich and softly complex. A complete Cabernet that is luscious now, but has the balance to develop, if you can keep your hands off it." Don't miss out on this special and unique wine package.
