Old Winery Road
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Old Winery Road Reserve V.2022
Napa Valley, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
Unlike the entry-level Old Winery Road bottling (which blends Sonoma & Napa fruit), this Reserve is made from 100% Napa Valley grapes. It showcases a deeper, richer, and more terroir-driven character that reflects the intensity and prestige of Napa. A red blend that balances ripe fruit and oak with Napa’s signature elegance.
Aromas & Flavors
On the nose: luscious black cherry, plum, and cassis with a kiss of vanilla and fresh eucalyptus.
On the palate: layers of blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, interwoven with hints of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and a touch of minty spice.
Mouthfeel
Medium-to-full-bodied with a velvety, savory finish. The texture is smooth but firm, offering both ripeness and freshness with lingering notes of ripe fruit and subtle oak.
Value & Winemaking
Produced under the Buena Vista Winery heritage umbrella—one of California’s oldest wine pioneers—this Reserve punches above its price point, drinking like an $85+ bottle but at a fraction of the cost.
Food Pairing
Perfect with charcuterie boards, aged cheeses, grilled lamb, or slow-cooked short ribs. Can also be enjoyed solo as a cellar-worthy sipper.
Verdict
A serious Napa red that combines intensity with elegance, delivering incredible value. A must-have for anyone who wants the essence of Napa without breaking the bank.
