The Count's Selection

Tasting Notes

This wine delights the senses with vibrant blackberry aromas that burst from the glass, entwined with hints of raspberry and cranberry. The palate is enveloped in luscious, ripe flavors of red cherry and blackberry, complemented by a whisper of licorice and a subtle dash of black pepper, culminating in a lengthy, savory 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.
