Pinot Noir / 2021
In the glass, this Pinot Noir presents itself as a lush, garnet-red beauty, exuding inviting aromas of raspberry, radiant red cherries, and a subtle note of earthy mushroom. The wine's texture is elegantly light, revealing flavors of tart rhubarb and crisp cranberry, subtly embellished with a touch of dusky black pepper and earthiness on the finish. It's a luscious and harmoniously balanced wine, culminating in an alluring and seductive 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.
