Stags Leap

Cabernet Sauvignon / 2022

Cloaked in a profound, gleaming garnet hue, this wine opens with a beguiling bouquet of ripe blackberries, luscious dark cherries, and a delicate wisp of polished cedar. The palate unfolds in a seamless tapestry of lavish fruit—where juicy black currants and ripe plums merge with rich undertones of bittersweet chocolate and subtle layers of dried herbs. All of this is artfully framed by velvety tannins and an impeccably balanced structure. The finish lingers with graceful persistence, echoing hints of creamy vanilla and a gentle earthiness that beautifully reflects the vineyard’s distinctive terroir.

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 rich and velvety Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon.
