Tasting Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep ruby brilliance, drawing you in with inviting aromas of lush blackberry, ripe strawberry, and delicate cherry, all seamlessly layered with warm baking spices and a trace of black licorice. On the palate, its supple, velvety texture unfolds gracefully, leading to a finish that glows with refinement. Classic undertones of cardamom, tobacco, and earthy nuance leave a lasting, evocative impression.

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.
