  March 30, 2024 - Muted nose and palate upon opening, so decanted for 3 hrs.
  
  Paired with grilled salt-rubbed ribeye steaks. Ripe, bold, viscous, and good heat. Aromas and flavors of black cherries, blueberries, cola, vanilla, and black tea. Velvety, well-integrated tannins that still provide good structure. Perhaps a bit round.
  
  Wasn't sure about the score upon pnp'ing, but I suggest airing out the wine a bit, as it worked for me regarding coaxing out the flavors. Juicy, strong fruit, a great textbook Napa cab for the pricepoint. Drink now through 2027.
  
  91 pts for me.

  October 31, 2023 - This is a really nice Napa Cab. The tannins are well-integrated. There is plenty of dark fruit. Close to seamless texture. Medium to full body. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this wine.

  July 30, 2023 - Another great 375 from Buena Vista. Better than my last bottle. Will look to finish off my last three soon.

  March 1, 2023 - Last of my lot of half bottles and no different from the rest. Fairly simple but enjoyable and a solid qpr.
