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.

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.

“Quietly powerful, dense with alluring oak spices and late-picked fruit flavors, this full-bodied, velvet-textured Cabernet-dominant blend is generous and inviting to drink, but also balanced and structured for the long haul. Concentrated, deep and layered, it is meant for drinking with appreciative friends or family in the future. Best from 2027–2040.”
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.

“Needing plenty of air to show at its best, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is a sensational, gorgeous Napa Valley Cabernet that delivers the goods like only this region can. Pure Cabernet magic on the nose, with deep blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, lead pencil, and a kiss of spring flowers as well as a beautiful Pessac-Leognan-like scorched earth character, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It’s one of those wines that builds incrementally on the palate and it’s only after the second or third sip that you realize how special this wine is. It also offers that rare mix of power and elegance that’s the hallmark of all great wines. It needs a couple of hours in the decanter if drinking any time soon. Hats off to Paul Hobbs for an incredible Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.“
