This second label of Far Niente will surprise no afficionado of the Napa cabernet style, plump with notes of currants, backed up by cherry cola notes. Silky chocolate notes evoke a wine that might pair better with a cream pie than a filet mignon, though there’s a gently beefy quality that builds with time in glass and the more overt fruitiness starts to fade. Ringed with ground coffee and spice notes, there’s a slight balsamic edge that gives the finish some acidity, orange peel and a hint of anise lingering on the engaging fade-out.
