13' wonderfully well balanced... for such a mass produced wine. Oak hits in the front & Middle palate. Cinnabon, white flowers. A taste of honey-peaches. Washes clean with crisp acidity. It's a bit better then the 12'

One of CA's oldest wineries, Far Niente, founded in 1885 by world traveler John Benson. The winery flourished until Prohibition, at which time it was abandoned and fell into complete disrepair. The stately stone shell of a winery was purchased in 1979 by Gil Nickel. Tropical and stone fruit aromas with complex spice and oak notes. On the palate apple, pear and citrus flavors, concentrated, with toasty oak and honey tones. Lingering finish ending with vibrant mineral characteristics.
