Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2018

Full bodied, powerful and well structured, the silky, fine grained tannins lead up impressively to the intense and long finish.

Sourced from vineyards from Yountville to St. Helena, the wine was aged for 28 months before being racked and aged an additional four months in French oak barrels, 40% new, for final aging. It was then bottled unfiltered.

The quality of Buena Vista wines is extremely good because the grapes are grown in some of the excellent terroirs located across Sonoma County. The elevation of the vineyards, temperature and the soil conditions play an important role in the full-bodied flavour of the grapes grown in different lots here. When you taste the wines of this label, you will be able to understand the high potential of the vineyards located across Sonoma County, Napa Valley and Buena Vista.

About the winery

Founded in 1857 by the self-proclaimed ‘Count of Buena Vista’ Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista pioneered the production of high-quality wines in California. Following several changes in ownership, the historic winery was purchased in 2011 by the Boisset family from Burgundy. Under Jean-Charles Boisset the winery has undergone extensive renovation and the Count’s original vision is being pursued with renewed vigour.

While in Bordeaux, the Count declared “Cabernet Sauvignon is its unsurpassed grape; the wine made of it possesses splendid colour and an exquisite bouquet.’ Bringing choice cuttings back to California, he propagated them at Buena Vista and bringing Cabernet Sauvignon to the Napa Valley.
