Yountville

Cabernet Sauvignon / 2019

Deep garnet in color, this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon envelops you with flavors of ripe and juicy red and black fruits. It distinguishes itself with a nose that is driven by notes of earth, dark fruit and mocha. The palate boasts lush, fine-grained tannins and an elegant and full-bodied mouthfeel.

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 splending 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 NapaValley wine world. We celebrate Buena Vista’s historic contribution to Napa wine by offering this concentrated and seamless Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaker’s Notes

2019 was a near picture-perfect growing season that began in late February followed by a mild Spring yielding uniform grape clusters. Temperatures remained moderate to cool throughout the season with 2019 being considered one of the coolest vintages of the past decade. The cooler temperatures allowed for a longer hangtime resulting in an even and temperate harvest.

The grapes for this Appellation Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Yountville were hand harvested then fermented in open top fermenters and aged in 35% new French oak barrels for 20 months before being bottled unfiltered.
