Zinfandel / 2023
Shimmering in a luminous garnet-red hue, this exceptional Zinfandel enchants with enticing aromas of ripe black cherry, delicate floral hints, and a subtle touch of cracked pepper. The palate unfolds with the richness of juicy red plum and luscious blackberry, effortlessly enhanced by a spark of citrus zest and a whisper of smoldering tobacco. Silky tannins, elegantly interlaced with layers of aromatic spices, create a harmonious medley of flavors, all uplifted by a vibrant, exhilarating acidity, leading to a gracefully crisp and captivating finish.

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards, has been restored as a collection of unique, small-production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The Vinicultural Society explores clonal selections, varietals, and the incredible terroir of California’s Sonoma County.
