Buena Vista

California Cabernet and Carignane wines rated by major critics.

The 1857 Red—a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—stands as the winery's flagship, followed by a Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and The Count's Selection Carignane. These wines reflect the structure and depth characteristic of California's Cabernet tradition, with the 1857 Red showing the complexity that comes from blending the region's signature varieties. The Carignane selection demonstrates a willingness to work with less common grapes, adding textural range to the portfolio. Each wine has been evaluated by major critics, positioning the winery within California's serious red wine conversation.
