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

The 2022 Post & Beam Cabernet steps into the glass with quiet confidence. It opens on plush aromas—plum sauce and briar patch—then settles into darker flourishes of coffee beans and dark chocolate, undercut by graphite and a whisper of anise. There’s richness, yes—but nothing overplayed. 

On the palate, it remains anchored. Blackberry and cassis carry forward, warmed by vanilla-toned mocha and framed by structured yet smooth tannins. A lingering thread of spiced red tea and sandalwood closes the arc—not flashy, but composed. 

Post & Beam isn’t a standalone brand—it’s the distilled elegance of Far Niente’s legacy. Housed under the estate’s auspices, it leans on decades of Napa clarity without inertia. The project’s name nods to craftsmanship—the simplicity and integrity of a post-and-beam barn. It’s wine built to serve, grounded in tradition, unburdened by flash. 

This wine drinks like someone who knows the room. It’s balanced, inviting, and doesn’t try too hard. Share it with grilled lamb, roast vegetables, or a confident conversation—someone’s questions, not praise, will be its best companion.

Post & Beam delivers without announcing—true to the Far Niente lineage, poised and purposeful.
