More About 2019 BUONCRISTIANI EXTENDED BARREL AGED NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Growing up in Napa Valley, the Buoncristiani brothers are well-connected with some of the region's best vineyards, allowing them access to some of the most sought-after blocks. Winemaker Jay Buoncristiani is an expert at accentuating the vineyard's most potent characteristics, proving without a shadow of a doubt that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Over the past twenty-five years, the winery has developed a style of producing concentrated, richly textured, hedonistic wines that remain polished and elegant. Their 2019 Extended Barrel Age Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll, and Coombsville shows off their blending skill. The 2019 vintage matured for 27 months in Oak, artfully tempering the robust Howell Mountain tannins and culminating in a harmonious fusion of beautifully integrated flavors.
