Tasting Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon unveils itself in a dark ruby hue. It beckons with an immediate array of aromas, where the opulence of blackberries, the sweetness of strawberries, and the delicacy of cherries mingle harmoniously, complemented by baking spices and a whisper of black licorice. This velvety and soft Cabernet Sauvignon culminates in a finish with luminous brilliance featuring classic notes of cardamom, tobacco, and the essence of earth, ensuring a memorable and evocative tasting experience.

Story

In 1861, our founder, Count Haraszthy, journeyed to Europe to procure the finest grapevines. While in Bordeaux, he declared that Cabernet Sauvignon is the unsurpassed grape. The wine made of it possesses a 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 velvety Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.
