OUR WINES
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon embodies our passion and commitment to making the very best wine possible. The result is classically structured Cabernets that are rich in texture, layered in flavor, complex, and long. Our Cabernets display the typical cassis and blackberry notes along with spicy oak aromas that have become synonymous with the Far Niente house style.
They Say Nothing is Perfect. We’re Not So Sure.
Our mastery of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is 40 years in the making. Our vast experience is woven with a passion to create timeless wines found in cellars around the world. What started as a labor of love more than four decades ago has transformed into a globally appreciated fine wine.
Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Oakville
Oakville is the heart of exceptional Napa Valley Cabernet, and it happens to be our home. It is the source and inspiration for our Cabernet wines and a large part of why these wines have achieved their lofty status. Oakville is where our Martin Stelling Vineyard was planted in the 1970s, right behind our winery. We grow, nurture, and produce our flagship Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon in Oakville which is a highly allocated and much-treasured wine. It represents a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec grapes grown in vineyards that have been cultivated for over 40 years. Its velvety texture and mouthwatering plum and blackberry flavors provide a luxurious wine-drinking experience like no other. This is truly our finest expression of Cabernet and wine craftsmanship at its highest art form.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Napa Valley Cabernet is our heritage wine and speaks to our 40-year legacy as growers and producers of unparalleled Cabernet. The wine combines select vineyards in Calistoga, Oak Knoll, St. Helena, Stags Leap, Diamond Mountain, and Yountville that complement our estate vineyards in Oakville. These wines are the very embodiment of our long-established house style and are representative of all that is right with Napa Valley Cabernets. Indeed, the marriage of these diverse vineyards has enabled us to craft Napa Valley Cabernet at a nearly inconceivable level.
Napa Valley Chardonnay
Our Estate Bottled Napa Valley Chardonnay comes from a blend of superb vineyards, many of which are located in Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling hills east of Napa. We’ve been growing here for over 40 years, and the deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils enable a Chardonnay of subtle tropical fruit flavors and complex aromas. There's also an absence of malolactic fermentation which preserves the grape’s natural acidity, lending the wine vibrant fruit and brightness in youth and allowing it to age beautifully, developing a sophisticated palate profile over time.
Celebrating 40 years of Legendary Chardonnay
Proof that a 40th Anniversary Can be Golden.
For 40 years, we have been producing Chardonnay of such extraordinary taste, character, and consistency, that you’d be hard-pressed to choose a favorite among each sublime vintage. Perhaps that’s a testament to our magnificent vineyards. Maybe it reflects the abundant expertise our winemakers bring to their labors. It simply could be the result of standards set astonishingly high for 40 years. Or, it might be all of the above.
We’ll Make The Wine. You Make The Occasion.
It’s our namesake. And for good reason. This estate-bottled Napa Valley Chardonnay is rooted in four decades’ worth of perfected traditions across our Coombsville vineyards nestled against the Vaca Mountains east of the city of Napa. The temperate climate and volcanic ash soils create the ideal environment for producing the subtle, tropical flavors and complex aromas that are Far Niente Chardonnay. Made with an absence of malolactic fermentation, which retains the grape's natural acidity, this iconic Napa Valley wine never fails to captivate with its beautiful structure, well-developed fruit, and potential for aging. The arrival of each new vintage brings stunning new wines.
Estate Bottled Napa Valley Chardonnay
We believe in the power of firsts. The Chardonnay grape was the first varietal cultivated and bottled by Far Niente in our modern era, beginning with the 1979 vintage. Today we remain steadfast in our mission of making elegant Chardonnay with bright fruit, crisp acidity and a creaminess on the palate.
Far Niente Cave Collection Chardonnay
Giving you our very best sometimes takes a little time. Far Niente Chardonnay is one of the rare Napa Valley Chardonnays that thrive with extended age, and blossom even more with time. The delightfully forward fruit and bright acidity in youth, gently evolve with time to a sophisticated, creamy and rich palate profile.
Four decades of Napa Valley winemaking
The meaning behind our name.
Far Niente comes from an Italian phrase that romantically translated means “without a care.” The name has been carved in stone on the front of our building since 1885. Far Niente is known as the pinnacle of timeless winemaking and luxury. Far Niente’s decades-long history as a premiere Napa Valley winery allows you to transport yourself to those days you can truly relax and savor every sip.
We are in love with what we do, and it is why our winery is like it is and why no one leaves Far Niente unimpressed, uninspired, or unmoved by all that our winery and our wines are. We are refined and sophisticated with a consistent house style; every Far Niente wine offers the highest expression of its vineyards and vintage, from our iconic Napa Valley Chardonnay to our legendary Cabernet Sauvignon.
