Founded in 1857, Buena Vista Winery is California's first premium winery. The winery has a rich heritage that is full of color, as founder Agoston Haraszthy, the self-proclaimed "Count of Buena Vista," was a vivacious and eccentric pioneer with a veritable love of and unending commitment to California wine. Following the forty-niners in search of gold in the hills of Northern California, Haraszthy sought "Purple Gold," the perfect 'terroir' for exceptional wine. He ultimately settled in Sonoma, where he founded Buena Vista Winery in 1857. Spanning from Sonoma and into Napa, Buena Vista has been reborn under the vision of another colorful gentleman, Jean-Charles Boisset. JCB purchased the property in 2011; his family has a true love and respect for Buena Vista, and he is passionately committed to continuing the imaginative vision and unrivaled legacy first created by The Count 150 years ago. Buena Vista wines have been put back on the map under Winemaker Brian Maloney, and he crafts this Chateau Buena Vista bottling using meticulously selected vineyards from Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville, and Oak Knoll; this exceptional blend exemplifies the diverse terroir of Napa Valley.
The nose on the 2020 Chateau Buena Vista opens up with blackberry, plum and black currants. The mouthfeel begins with blackberries, black currants and turns into blueberries and chocolate with a kiss of savory notes like cedar, tobacco and tea leaf. The wine is full-bodied with smooth tannins and leads to a long and juicy finish that lingers on the palate. This is one of those wines for many occasions. This wine pairs nicely with red meats, salamis, rich cheeses or to just have as "a cocktail wine." The quality of this 2020 Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon wine that is under $40 is a must-try for collectors and wine enthusiasts alike!
