Great Value Napa Cabernet, Case Buy Alert!
I’ll be honest—I didn’t really know Buehler Vineyards before last week. I’m not in love with the label, and there aren’t any reviews. But let me tell you something: the 2020 Buehler Vineyards Cabernet, Napa Valley, is genuinely very, very good. Located in the foothills of Howell Mountain, this wine carries some of the structure and ageability of its more famous neighbor, giving it a firm backbone and the ability to develop beautifully over time. Also, yes, I hear you about the smoke damage in Napa in 2020. The family managed to get their Cabernet all harvested prior to the fires by two days without sacrificing quality. That hot afternoon sun in North East Napa really speeds along ripening, and the fog leaves the area first.
Winery direct, this sells for $50. On Wine-Searcher, the low is around $35. Today, you can grab it for Black Friday pricing, a rare chance to enjoy Napa quality at a price like this. Take my word for it: this is a wine that will drink wonderfully now and for several years to come, and is perfect for cozying up during the cold winter months.
The end of the vintage is here. Grab a case or two while you can and enjoy some seriously good Napa Cab without the usual markup.
