Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford Reviews

Score: 94 | October 24, 2023 | The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford explodes with bombastic notes of blackberry preserves, creme de cassis, and Morello cherries followed by hints of red loam, garrigue, and tar. The full-bodied palate is ripe and juicy, with pleasantly chewy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a provocative earthy note.

Score: 92 | December 13, 2023 | James Suckling

Aromas of ripe dark berries, grilled thyme, cured meat and dark spiced with some hints of cedar and moist earth. Full-bodied, deep and layered with firm, lightly chewy tannins. Powerful and persistent with a long finish. Better after 2025.
