Buena Vista Winery Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

From the winemaker: In 1861, our founder, Count Haraszthy, journeyed to Europe to procure the finest grapevines. While in Bordeaux, he declared "Cabernet Sauvignon is its unsurpassed frappe; the wine made of it processes splendid color and an exquisite bouquet." Bringing choice cuttings back to California, he propagated them at Buena Vista, and sold thousands to those that founded the Napa Valley wine world.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 reveals a deep and inviting garnet hue, promising an unforgettable tasting experience. The aroma is a harmonious blend of dark fruit, with notes of blackberries, black currants, and plums taking center stage. Subtle hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, and a touch of cedar add complexity and allure. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon unveils an intricate and layered profile. Ripe fruit flavors seamlessly mingle with hints of espresso, tobacco, and a medley of baking spices. The wine's velvety texture and polished tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel, while a lingering finish leaves an enduring impression of sophistication and grace.
