Buehler Napa Valley Papa's Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ML

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California

Notes from the Winemaker

Historically, we’ve produced one Estate Cabernet Sauvignon at Buehler Vineyards in which we blend wines from various vineyard blocks: a melding of the disparate characteristics into one whole wine. From time to time, we’re tempted to showcase a particular vineyard block for its unique character by bottling it on its own. Beginning with the 2004 vintage, we gave in to the temptation and bottled a very limited amount of wine from Papa's Knoll's vineyard.

Reviews and Accolades

92 Points/Wine Spectator
This is solid, with a juicy core of plum and blackberry that cruises along while light apple wood, anise and sweet tobacco accents full in the wake.  Keeps good energy as everything melts on the finish.  Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. - JM

Attractive, violet-like florals here. This has a very fresh array of blueberries and chocolate with a sleep, succulent core of fine, easygoing tannins and a rich chocolate-infused, ripe-berry finish. Drink or hold. Synthetic cork.
