Napa Cabernet from the valley's oldest name - California's first premium winery, making wine since 1857.
Only 1 left

Buena Vista is where California wine began. Founded in 1857 by the self-styled "Count" Agoston Haraszthy, it is the state's first premium winery, and its Chateau Buena Vista range marks the house's return to Napa Valley, where Cabernet has long been king. The name carries real weight: this is heritage you can put on the table without a word of explanation.

The fruit is drawn from Napa's benchmark addresses - sites across Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville and Oak Knoll - giving the wine both valley-floor generosity and the structure of the hillside vineyards. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend rounded out with a little Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc depending on the year, aged in French oak that builds depth without burying the fruit.

In the glass it is rich and full-bodied, with ripe dark cherry and blackcurrant, a thread of cocoa and sweet spice, and velvety tannins that carry through to a long, smooth finish. This is opulent, generous Napa Cabernet in the crowd-pleasing register - serve at 16-18°C.

The 2020 Vintage

A warm, even 2020 growing season gave Napa deeply ripe, concentrated fruit, and in the glass that shows as a darker, denser wine than the vintages either side - impenetrable garnet, blackcurrant and cassis, a veil of dark cocoa. Twenty-four months in French oak, a third of it new, has knitted the tannins in tight without flattening the fruit. This is the more structured of the two vintages on this page, with the depth to reward a few more years in the bottle.

Napa Valley

Napa Valley is the name that made American wine serious - a narrow thirty-mile strip north of San Francisco Bay whose Cabernet Sauvignon stands with the best in the world. Volcanic and gravel soils, warm days and bay-cooled nights give a Cabernet of depth and polish, plush on the valley floor and firmer up on the mountain slopes. When a Napa red beat the great names of Bordeaux in a blind tasting in 1976, the wine world stopped to take notice - and it has never looked away.
