The 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 tannins.
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Panel- Richly appointed, with dark blue and purple fruit and a plush mouthfeel. Notes of plum liqueur and freshly roasted coffee grace the palate as dark chocolate and anise entwine with the wine’s well-defined structure and satin-lined tannins. Spiced red tea and sandalwood engage with more chocolate on the finish.
Wine Enthusiast- 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.
James Suckling- A fresh, fruit-forward and easily accessible Napa Cabernet with notes of plums, red cherries and eucalyptus. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and soft tannins giving notes of blackberries, cassia bark and orange zest.
