2019 Buena Vista “Chateau Buena Vista” Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Buena Vista Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Buena Vista Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, United States An enticing bouquet of blackberry and plum with notes of bay leaf spring from the glass. This is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with blended flavors of blueberry, black currant, and hints of cedar spice. Smooth and structured tannins with balanced acidity lead to a long and juicy finish. Winemaker

This 2019 wine shows depth and balance, offering a classic nose of ripe dark fruit, vanilla and eucalyptus. Some crushed-stone minerality, too. Full-bodied and dense with impressive concentration, viscous tannins and bright acidity. Fresh and juicy aftertaste. Lovely now, but better in 2023. 95pts Suckling
Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names, before there was a California wine world at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, and its history is as colorful as it is proud. Today, the legend is being re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset, with Winemaker Brian Maloney in the cellar. The winery’s future is its past… its vivacious, colorful, and pioneering past!

Today’s offer was one of our top wines of 2020 and is starting off 2021 on a very similar note.  Those in the know with a rich appreciation for Napa’s long and fabled history put this wine up there with Inglenook, Beringer, Mondavi, and Charles Krug.  The wine is Buena Vista’s 2019 “Chateau Buena Vista” Cabernet Sauvignon and pound for pound, this is one of Napa’s greatest Cabernets under $50.  Big and rich, with ample fruit, built like a brick house, and overdelivers year after year.  This is a wine that we always keep around for friends and family, due to its crowd pleasing nature and accessibility.  For just a short time, we are able to get an all-time low price on the wine, extending 29% off its original list price of $44.99, bringing this gorgeous bottle to under $40.  2018 is a great vintage for Napa, Decanter hails the vintage as one of the finest in the last twenty years. While the 2018 vintage of this wine has not been rated yet, the last top vintage 2016, the wine got a huge 95pts by Suckling. We are working harder than ever to get access to the best deals in our market, and today’s wine is proof of that.  Stock up and get your wines delivered.  Cheers!

Buena Vista Winery

Buena Vista Winery has a rich, delicious heritage as the first premium, and certainly the most colorful, of all of the wineries in California. Founded in 1857 by Agoston Haraszthy, the self-proclaimed “Count”, Buena Vista Winery is California’s first premium winery. The Count’s passion for innovation and excellence not only led to California’s first premium winery, but also to the development of the California wine world as we know it today. The Count saw the grand vision for producing fine wine in Sonoma, and Buena Vista was his vinicultural laboratory. He created the first gravity flow winery in California and excavated the first wine caves. The Count had been the first to experiment with Redwood barrels for aging and fermenting, and he brought over 300 different varieties from Europe to California. Buena Vista joined the Boisset Collection in May 2011. Today, Proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset is returning Buena Vista to its original glory with the complete restoration and re-opening of the champagne cellars, which have been unavailable to the public for over 20 years. Buena Vista wines are being driven to greater heights under Winemaker Brian Maloney, including the reintroduction of Sonoma as well as Napa Valley, in honor of where it all began!
