Far Niente has achieved everything a winery sets out to accomplish between its Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel single vineyard bottlings. Wine Enthusiast recently called Nickel & Nickel “the leader of single vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet,” a statement which is hardly refutable.
Together, they represent the best of each vintage in Napa Valley, though at price tags that are understandably high. The regular cab will set you back $150– if you could ever get your hands on it, and the Nickel and Nickel single-vineyard wines will also now set you back three figures.
However, I’m most excited about the latest Cabernet project by team Far Niente – an unassuming offering called Post & Beam. From the same vineyard sources, winemaking facilities and winemakers of the famed Napa winery, the Post & Beam is a Cabernet Sauvignon that’s meant to be enjoyed in its youth.
Drawn from select younger parcels from their Oakville and Coombsville sites in their impressive vineyard collection, the 2018 Post & Beam features boisterous notes of juicy plum and dark cherry and blackberry fruit. Silky smooth tannins and impressive dark fruit make this an ideal Napa Valley Cab – especially when you consider the price.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
