2019 Buehler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

2019 Buehler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate The aromas hint at black fruit: ripe black cherries and black plums. Enticing barrel qualities of cola and spice complement the fruit aromas. On the palate, the 2019 wine shows layers of deeply extracted flavors that only mature hillside vineyards can render. The Estate Cabernet is the most age-worthy wine Buehler produces and may be enjoyed anytime over the next 15 years. For those who seek youthful fresh cabernet fruit aromas and a more structured wine, drink it from 2021 through 2024. If you prefer the less fruity, more developed bottle bouquet aromas and a softer, more velvety wine on the palate, drink it from 2025-2035.

92 Robert Parker: The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of crushed blackberries, wild blueberries and cassis plus suggestions of bay leaves, clove oil and unsmoked cigars with a hint of cardamom. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled, the palate is chock-full of bright, crunchy black fruit with subtle, invigorating dried herbs accents and approachable, grainy tannins, finishing with a lively lift. Impressively priced for the quality here, it is drinking beautifully right now, and should cellar for a good 12 years+. Stock up!

90 James Suckling: Blueberries, cedar and mushrooms on the nose. It is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a juicy texture. Lots of toasted oak. Needs two or three years to come together.

90 Jeb Dunnuck: A step up, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals loads of classic Cabernet herbal tones as well as plenty of darker currant fruits, notes of tobacco, chocolate, and earth, medium to full-bodied richness, and a round, supple, nicely textured mouthfeel that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s well done and ideal for enjoying over the coming 8-10 years.
