Chateau Buena Vista
Pinot Noir / 2023
Brilliant ruby in color, this Pinot Noir offers aromas of Bing cherry, ripe blueberry, and a delicate whisper of forest floor. The palate is alive with juicy red and blue fruits, layered with a touch of pepper and vanilla. Silky and polished in texture, the wine’s vibrant acidity brings lift and clarity, carrying through to an elegant, lingering finish.

The self-proclaimed Count, and our founder, Agoston Haraszthy, understood that great wine comes not only from great grapes, but also from great places. In the 1860’s Buena Vista covered more than 6,000 acres reaching from the southernmost part of Sonoma Valley into Napa County. Both regions offer a unique terroir – the magical combination of all the attributes required to create outstanding wines of a particular site – from the soil, to the climate, to the site’s exposure to the sun, to the vine itself.
