ith its roots so deeply ensconced in the foundations of Sonoma where it w a s established in 1857, Buena Vista Winery is again introducing wines from Sonoma. The Sonoma wines include a diverse array of varietals that celebrate the diversity of Sonoma’s terroir and the contribution of Buena Vista to establishing the California wine world. The 2012 Buena Vista Winery Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon comes from some of the finest vineyards in Sonoma. Aged 10 months in once and twice-used French oak barrels, the wine went through extended maceration, spending 20-30 days on skins to capture the juicy fruit characteristics. Our 2012 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly exciting wine. The 2012 vintage in Sonoma was the easiest growing season in years with few challenges. A mild spring led to a good fruit set. Summer and fall brought warm temperatures, but no heat waves. The large crop and very full cluster development made for an extended growing season. With little to no disease pressure, the clean, elegant, almost crystalline wines show the best balance we have seen since 2009. Expressive of the vintage, this wine envelops the palate with mouth-watering flavors of black pepper, cherry and rich caramel.
Alcohol: 13.5% pH: 3.67 Total Acidity: 6.10 g/L 10 Months, Once & Twice Used French Oak. CABERNET SAUVIGNON
