Red Blend
Founder’s Collection
Chateau Buena Vista
Coombsville
Cabernet Sauvignon / 2020
Very deep ruby hue with lovely aromas of dark berry, granite and hot chalk, overlaid with a bed of violets and thyme. The palate is dense, concentrated, powerful but contained, tannins are beautifully laced through the density of the fruit creating a silky weave. The acidity is high but nicely distributed acrossthe palate and integrates nicely with the fruit of the wine. The finish is long, poised, elegant, warming. Superbly charming and elegant wine.

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 concentrated and seamless Cabernet Sauvignon.
