Story

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.

Winemaker’s Notes

Named for Count Haraszthy’s fourth child and first daughter, Ida’s Selection Pinot Noir is sourced from four vineyards, Swicegood, Pennachio, Doña Margarita and Sonoma Stage. Located on the western slopes of the Sonoma Coast, these grapes ripen under optimally-balanced conditions and are hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness.
