The 2022 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning expression of Napa Valley’s rich terroir, showcasing the expertise and legacy of Far Niente Wine Estates. This vintage is a perfect balance of bold structure and elegant texture, making it a standout choice for Cabernet Sauvignon lovers.
Tasting Notes: The 2022 vintage opens with enticing aromas of briar patch and plum sauce, inviting you into a well-rounded and textured palate. Flavors of cassis and blackberry create a layered entry, followed by a finish that delivers hints of vanilla, mocha, and cocoa, alongside soft, resolved tannins. With a perfect combination of richness and elegance, this wine offers a multi-dimensional experience from start to finish.
Winemaking: The 2022 growing season began with early budbreak and a mild summer, followed by a heat spike in early September that accelerated ripening. This heat event prompted the early harvest of Pope Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while the cooler temperatures later allowed Napa Valley’s Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen to perfection. The careful harvest timing produced exceptional grape quality and flavor concentration.
Food Pairing: This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, braised short ribs, or roasted vegetables. Its rich and layered profile also complements hearty dishes like lamb or aged cheeses.

Tasting Panel
“Richly appointed, with dark blue and purple fruit and a plush mouthfeel. Notes of plum liqueur and fresh roasted coffee grace the palate. Dark chocolate and anise entwine in the wine’s well-defined structure and satin-lined tannins. Spiced red tea and sandalwood engage with chocolate notes on the finish. 95 Far Niente” |

“Sour cherry, cherry tobacco and dry cocoa freshened by a mineral graphite element carry this Cabernet into a juicy, long finish of melting tannins and generous flavor. Approachable amplitude makes for a crowd-pleasing and delicious wine." |
