Tasting Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon of opulent allure unfolds, resplendent in its rich and bright garnet attire. It beckons with an irresistible array of flavors, where ripe plums, succulent raspberries, and the inky embrace of blackberries conspire to tantalize the senses. The nose is a veritable bouquet of intoxicating notes, where the brilliance of bright fruits dances with the depth of cassis and a hint of luxurious chocolate, like a harmonious symphony of scents. On the palate, this elixir reveals its true essence, offering a luxurious and impressively lengthy experience, where soft, silken tannins caress the tongue, and an elegant, luscious mouthfeel envelops the senses like a sumptuous embrace.

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.
