From the Boisset Collection, Buena Vista 2017 is a lush and layered Napa Valley Cab with wild dark berry, plum, dark chocolate, cola and savoury herb flavours all balanced with good acidity on the palate. Tannins are fine and pleasantly grippy. Drink or hold.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: roast venison steak, rabbit tenderloin en croute, grilled veal Porterhouse steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A powerhouse Napa Cabernet! Aromas of black currant and raspberry, with notes of smoke, mocha, graphite, and a bit of leather. Full bodied, robust and smooth, with medium+ acidity, and some soft, drying tannins on the palate. Ripe, dark berry flavours are rounded and vibrant along with mocha and coffee hints and a smoky, spicy hint on the lengthy finish. Enjoy with a special prime rib.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
