winemaker's notes:

The wine is brimming with fruit aromas and flavors biased to the black fruit end of the Cabernet spectrum: plums, blackberry, black currant. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this Cabernet drinks well on release but will soften and develop with additional age. For those who seek youthful fresh Cabernet fruit aromas and a more structured wine, drink it from 2010 through 2014. If you prefer the less fruity, more developed bottle bouquet aromas and a softer, more velvety wine on the palate, drink it from 2015-2025.

alcohol by volume: 14.4%

critical acclaim:

"A real steal and one of the greatest sleepers I have tasted from Napa (the Mecca for expensive Cabernet Sauvignons) is Buehler’s 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon from their vineyards in Napa Valley. There are only 1,800 cases of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, so this offering is likely to disappear quickly from the marketplace. It offers a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, abundant black currant, licorice and smoky tobacco leaf characteristics, medium to full body, a supple, velvety style and impressive purity, texture and length. Consume it over the next 10+ years. "

rating (10/6/2011):

I usually trust Parker's ratings but he is a little off on this one. This is a solid 87-88 but not deserving of the 90. The wine Spectator rating of 86 is more accurate. The Che. St. Michelle Indian Wells or Mondavi Napa blow this away at about the same price. The Buehler has that very typical lower-end flavor profile of Napa cabs in this price range. Good but not Exceptional value.
