Far Mountain's 2021 Fission Cabernet Sauvignon is a mountain marvel, born from the glacially carved Alta Vista Vineyard. This exceptional terroir, with its ancient, weathered landscapes, lends profound depth to the old vines. The 2021 vintage showcases a captivating bouquet of thyme, currant, and cedar, leading to a complex palate of brambly fruit, leather, and iron. Firm tannins and fresh herbal notes define its elegant, site-driven character. This Sonoma Cabernet, a testament to its unique origin, boasts a distinguished profile and the potential for decades of aging. Acclaimed for its terroir-driven complexity, it pairs perfectly with hearty red meats, game, and rich stews

Critic Reviews
Antonio Galloni
94 Points
94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fission is a gorgeous wine from Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto. Ample and deep, the 2021 possesses tons of complexity from the very first taste. Brambly overtones meld into leather, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Brooding tannins wrap it all together. The Fission emerges from dry-farmed vines planted on St. George rootstock at Alta Vista Gold Ranch on Moon Mountain. The old-vine field selection is believed to include some Cabernet Franc. (Drink between 2027-2041)" 01/24

95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Lovely fresh thyme, currant and lead pencil. Black berry. Black olive. Pine cone and pine needles. Bay leaf. Medium to full body, with round and firm tannins and not too dry. There is real freshness and depth here. Iron underneath. This needs three to four years of bottle age. Try after 2026." 12/23

94 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter: “An exemplary mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the team at Far Mountain, this wine is sourced from the 50-year-old, dry-farmed vines at Alta Vista Vineyard in Sonoma's Moon Mountain District. The volcanic soils and gnarled head-trained vines make for a dramatic, elegant wine: Pine needles and bay leaf frame wild mountain berries and mineral tones of pencil lead and iron. The palate shows sappy tart blackberries, muddled mint leaves, and graphite streaks across the flavour profile, finishing with fresh chopped herbs and white pepper—a fresh, invigorating Cabernet from Sonoma showing so much respect for the site.” 11/24
