Buena Vista - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022 750ml

Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 brings a historic legacy back to the heart of Napa Valley. Founded in 1857 by the flamboyant Count Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista stands as the first premium winery in California. This specific bottling honors that rich history by sourcing fruit from a variety of celebrated districts. The winemaking team selects grapes from Calistoga, St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, and Oak Knoll. This careful blending across the valley creates a wine that captures the diverse soil and climate of the entire region.

In the glass, this wine offers a complex and inviting profile. The nose bursts with an interesting mix of ripe apricots and dark cherries. Sweet notes of caramel and licorice add a layer of warmth to the aroma. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and robust. It delivers deep flavors of raspberry and velvety blueberry preserves. Rich notes of milk chocolate and juicy red currants round out the taste.

The texture is a highlight of this vintage. It features smooth, polished tannins that provide structure without being harsh. The mid-palate is sumptuous and leads into a luxuriously silky finish. Aged for 24 months in French oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and rich. It is a fitting tribute to the winery's founder and a perfect example of why Cabernet is king in Napa.
