2022 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 750ml

At Post & Beam, we make wines of pure expression, built on generations of hands-on experience and the legacy of Far Niente Wine Estates. The 2022 vintage displays seductive aromas of briar patch and plum sauce on the nose before leading onto a palate that is well-structured yet elegant. Round and textured on the palate, the entry is layered with cassis and blackberry. The finish exudes vanilla, mocha, and cocoa flavors alongside resolved tannins.

ABOUT POST & BEAM

Named for the simple yet elegant barns that dot the American landscape as an enduring reminder of our history, Post & Beam represents craftsmanship, tradition, legacy, and purity. There’s nothing unnecessary or overly complicated about a post and beam barn. It just works beautifully. The same can be said for our wines. They are simple, elegant, pure expressions of each grape in its finest form. 

HARVEST NOTES

The 2022 growing season started off with early budbreak and a mild summer. A Labor Day heat spike accelerated ripening and we began picking some of our Pope Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the southern parts of Napa Valley around mid-September. More mild temperatures following the heat wave allowed us to let our other Napa Valley Cabernet hang on the vines into October, developing bolder phenolics and rich dark fruit characteristics. We finished up the season in late October with the rest of our Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll and Petit Verdot.
