Party like it’s 1999? Well, the 1999 vintage of Napa Valley Cabernet was actually one of several from the decade that was crowned the “vintage of the century.” Growing seasons, harvests, farming techniques and winemaking practices conspired to produce a bevy of great wines, and the 1999 was, indeed, a wine to celebrate.
It would be hard nowadays to acquire a bottle of 1999 Napa Cab unless you have a friend with a great cellar, you’re on the auction circuit or you’re a fan of our Cave Collection. The 1999 Far Niente Cave Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is one of several vintages we make available annually from our library. It’s a great way to acquire beautifully aged wines to replenish your cellar, or to revisit an old favorite.
Keep an eye on our blog for an upcoming post from our winemaker about the 1999 Cave Collection Cab.
