The 1981 BV Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from Napa’s Rutherford AVA, offers a window into the restrained, age-worthy style of early 1980s California winemaking. From a warm, low-yield vintage, this wine has developed into a mature, tertiary-driven Cabernet with aromas of dried blackcurrant, forest floor, mint, and subtle spice.
Well-cellared bottles still show elegance and structure, with softened tannins, earthy complexity, and lingering herbal notes. Once made under the guidance of André Tchelistcheff’s legacy, this vintage reflects BV’s historic commitment to balance over opulence. Best enjoyed now with thoughtful decanting and classic pairings like roast beef or game.
