A polished Napa Valley Cab from Buena Vista, rich, layered and full-bodied with ripe dark plum, black currant, blackberry, meaty, minty and cedar spice flavours on the palate. Smooth with structured tannins and balanced acidity. Love the long and juicy dark cherry finish.

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

From the Boisset Collection, Buena Vista 2016 is a concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with a classic nose of blackberry, black plums, dark olives, smoke and leather aromas. Love this plushy full-bodied Cab with layers of dark cherry, ripe currant, blackberry, min, olive and cedar spice flavours so satiny smooth on the palate. Pair with Netflix night. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
