Was gifted this bottle a couple years ago. Don’t know much about it. Don’t know if i should save it or drink it. Any info would be appreciated thanks.

Probably in its window right now. I don’t think it’s getting any better at this point.

Solid wine from a solid year in Napa, it has a good amount of age on it and likely wont get any better so I recommend drinking soon.

That has awesome potential. Grill something nice and open it up!
If you get to Napa, the Far Niente property is gorgeous and fun.

IMHO 2001 ranks up there in top five vintages from 1991 to current. Far Niente makes solid wines in a classical Napa style. I feel like they are often overlooked because of their size and availability. I bet this bottle is rockin’ right now. The place is stunning and worth a visit.

Is this not already drunk?

Fun history about the label.
The artist is Tom Rodrigues, who painted lots of wine labels and who was original a stained glass artist. He was the stain glass art lead and consultant for Skywalker Ranch, the big property that George Lucas owns near San Francisco. He’s created and painted probably 20 different big name wine labels in Napa and Sonoma.
