    The Wine Independent

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 spending color and an exquisite bouquet.” Bringing choice cuttings back to California, he propagated them at Buena Vista and sold thousands to those who founded the Napa Valley wine world. We celebrate Buena Vista’s historic contribution to Napa wine by offering this concentrated and seamless Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rich, bright garnet in color. This 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon tempts you with flavors of ripe plum, juicy raspberries, and blackberry. Accentuated on the nose are intoxicating notes of bright fruit, cassis and chocolate. The palate is luxurious and lengthy with soft, silky tannins and an elegant and luscious mouthfeel.
