2022 Post & Beam - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 2022 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley from Far Niente Wine Estates offers an inviting doorway into the Far Niente portfolio—an approachable, classically made Napa Valley red that pairs immediate enjoyment with genuine depth. Designed as an entry point into the estate family, this wine balances fruit-forward presence with structured complexity.

Winemaking & composition

This wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, rounded out with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc sourced from vineyards across Napa Valley. After fermentation, it spends nearly two years aging in a blend of French and Hungarian oak barrels, a process that builds structure while weaving in subtle spice and toast.

Tasting notes

• Nose: dark plum, cassis, and briar fruit mingle with graphite, cedar, and toasted cocoa.
• Palate: round and full, with blackberry and black cherry flavors, finishing with soft, resolved tannins and hints of vanilla and mocha.

Food pairing

Its richness and balance make it a natural match for grilled steak, braised short ribs, or aged cheeses.
