Spring in Napa Valley signals the beginning of a new growing season— vines awakening beneath warm afternoons and cool evenings. This shipment honors that sense of renewal through three distinct Cabernet expressions.
The 2022 Far Niente Cave Cabernet Sauvignon and 2023 Far Niente
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon offer a compelling look at winemaking mastery across two vintages and two distinct programs, while the 2023
Nickel & Nickel Quicksilver Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the precision, structure, and purity of terroir that single-vineyard farming makes possible.
These wines reward patience, whether enjoyed now with seasonal fare or cellared for years to come
