Founder’s Collection


1857

Red Blend / 2022

The 2022 1857 Red Wine opens with a vibrant, expressive bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, anise, and subtle floral nuances. On the palate, layers of succulent plum, ripe dark cherry, and wild blackberry unfold, enriched by notes of silky cocoa and toasted almond. Bold yet polished, this wine showcases supple, well-knit tannins and a luxurious, textured mouthfeel. A touch of warm cardamom lingers gracefully on the extended finish, leaving a lasting impression of depth and elegance.

Story

Buena Vista Winery, founded in 1857, has a rich and unrivaled heritage as the first premium — and certainly the most colorful — of all of the wineries in California. Its founder, Agoston Haraszthy, the self-proclaimed “Count of Buena Vista,” was a vivacious and eccentric pioneer with a veritable love and unending commitment to California wine. Nearly 164 years later, and after facing many challenges, Buena Vista Winery has not only endured but, is thriving. 1857 Red Wine honors this storied history and is a reflection of the quality, dedication and revitalization of the winery since joining Boisset Collection in 2011.
