Buena Vista North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Medium weight, with upfront flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry, followed by hints of clove and spicy black pepper. Plush, velvety tannins flood the luxurious finish.
The grapes for this wine come from vineyards in the Fountaingrove District, Sonoma Mountain, and Alexander Valley – all part of California’s North Coast appellation.
The wine is aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels for ten months.

Founded in 1857 by the self-proclaimed ‘Count of Buena Vista’ Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista pioneered the production of high quality wines in California. Here he introduced ground-breaking viticultural practices such as dry-farming and hillside planting as well as constructing California’s first gravity fed winery. Following several changes in ownership, the historic winery was purchased in 2011 by the Boisset family from Burgundy. Under Jean-Charles Boisset the winery has undergone extensive renovation and the Count’s original vision is being pursued with renewed vigour.
