Product details
Buehler Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 showcases the distinctive hillside character of Buehler's estate vineyards, situated above Conn Valley near the base of Howell Mountain in Napa Valley, California. Planted entirely with Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate features a varied landscape of steep eastern-facing slopes and gently rolling hills with southern and southwestern exposures. Its complex geology creates at least three distinct soil types, each contributing different characteristics to the finished expression. The 2021 growing season was marked by even ripening, a smaller crop, and the absence of significant heat spikes, resulting in deeply colored fruit and mature tannin development. Following fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, including a carefully selected proportion of new oak, bringing additional structure and complexity.
The tasting profile opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherries and black plums, complemented by subtle notes of cola and baking spices from oak aging. On the palate, deeply concentrated layers of mature dark fruit unfold with rich texture and well-developed tannins, reflecting the character of Buehler's hillside vineyards. Its structured composition and depth contribute to an elegant, enduring finish, with the potential to develop further complexity through extended bottle aging.
