Vinicultural Society


Karoly's Selection

Petite Sirah / 2023

Glowing with a deep crimson hue, this wine entices the senses with opulent layers of dark fruit, gracefully highlighted by the richness of ripe plum. The palate reveals a dynamic interplay of flavors—succulent black cherry, ripe blackberry, velvety chocolate, and a delicate hint of warm spice. Bold and expressive, this full-bodied wine is framed by polished tannins that impart both balance and refinement, carrying through to a resonant, enduring finish that lingers with distinction and allure.

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 Sonoma County. In keeping with the adventurous spirit of Buena Vista’s founding, we are proud to bring you this delicious Karoly’s Selection Petite Sirah.
