Post & Beam by Far Niente Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Sustainable

Wine NotesThe 2022 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon 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 tanninsHarvest NotesThe 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 from our estate in Oakville.At Post & Beam, we make wines of pure expression, built on generations of hands-on experience producing acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Backed by the expertise and legacy of Far Niente Wine Estates, we use time-honored techniques to make exceptional wines that can be enjoyed upon release.
