The Count's Selection

Carignane / 2022

The 2022 Count's Selection Carignane enchants the senses with bold blackberry aromas that leap from the glass, intertwined with bright notes of raspberry and tart cranberry. The palate is immersed in juicy, succulent flavors of ripe red cherry and dark blackberry, elegantly accented by a hint of licorice and a delicate touch of black pepper, leading to a long, savory, and satisfying finish.

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 and beyond. This Old Vine Carignane was harvested from head trained vines that were dry farmed in a canyon pocket southwest of Ukiah. The Caballo Blanco Vineyard is an 80 year old site known for producing distinct Carignane.
