Cabernet Sauvignon's high ratio of skin to juice is the simple reason its wines are so deeply coloured and so firmly structured. Blackcurrant, cedar and graphite, with a tannic frame that softens over years. Napa Valley remains America's benchmark for Cabernet, with a warm valley floor and cooler hillside sites producing very different wines within a few miles of each other. Bottled by Buena Vista Chateau Buena from the 2022 harvest. Cool room temperature, and a decanter if there's time. Serve with steak, lamb, or a hard aged cheese.
