Pinot Noir / 2023
This Pinot Noir immediately enchants with seductive aromas of lush blackberry, tart pomegranate, and lively citrus. On the palate, bright acidity elevates the rich, expressive flavors of ripe raspberry and deep plum, gracefully layered with whispers of floral violet, freshly ground black pepper, and subtle forest floor nuances. The tannins are smoothly integrated, lending a refined structure that culminates in a lingering, enchanting 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 Northern California.
