Buena Vista Winery
Chateau Buena Vista Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of sweet cherries, currants, blueberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, milk chocolates, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and spices.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Elegant and easy drinking. Fruit forward and complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (30% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$40.

8/2025. Nice flavor and dryness. Sits well on the palate.

Aug 7th, 2025Deep ruby in color; blackberries, cassis, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like black plums, black cherries, and eucalyptus with a long finish. Nellie likes this wine, and I do, too.

Fruit and earthy aroma. Blackberry with plum and vanilla finish. Dense but not overwhelming. Low tannins and short finish. Would absolutely buy again.
