St. Helena (2-Pack)

Cabernet Sauvignon / 2022

In the glass, this 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon unveils a seductive, inky-purple hue that immediately draws you in. It enchants from the first swirl, releasing a tapestry of aromatic layers—bright raspberry, succulent cherry, and zesty cranberry seamlessly intertwined with brooding notes of black plum and dark blackberry. These fruit tones meld with comforting vanilla and a subtle, woodland earthiness. As it evolves, toasted hazelnut, velvety cocoa, and a whisper of warming spices elevate the wine's dense flavor and concentrated profile, amplifying its plush red- and dark-fruit character. The finale lingers with a beautifully composed, enduring finish, carried by medium-plus tannin that feels silky yet assertively structured, leaving an impression of impeccable balance.

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 that founded the Napa Valley wine world. We celebrate Buena Vista’s historic contribution to Napa wine by offering this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena.
