Calistoga

Cabernet Sauvignon / 2022

Veiled in a deep, radiant garnet robe, this wine unveils an alluring bouquet of sun-drenched blackberries, sumptuous dark cherries, and a whisper of fragrant cedarwood. The palate reveals a luxuriant mosaic of vibrant fruit, where succulent black currants and plush plums intertwine with decadent notes of dark cocoa and nuanced traces of wild herbs. Silky tannins and a gracefully poised framework provide impeccable support, enhancing its overall harmony. The finish is enduring and sophisticated, resonating with delicate accents of toasted vanilla and a faint, savory minerality that eloquently expresses the vineyard’s singular character.

Tasting Notes

Story

In 1861, our founder, Count Haraszthy, journeyed to Europe to procure the finest grapevines. While in Bordeaux, he declared, “Cabernet Sauvignon is its unsurpassed grape. The wine made of it possesses splendid color and an exquisite bouquet.” Bringing choice cuttings back to California, he propagated them at Buena Vista and sold thousands to those who founded the Napa Valley wine world. We celebrate Buena Vista’s historic contribution to Napa wine by offering this rich and smooth Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon.
