The Count's Selection

Malbec / 2021

Draped in a sumptuous, deep purple cloak, this wine beckons with captivating aromas, marrying the freshness of ripe fruit with exotic undertones of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The palate unfolds a symphony of flavors, where red plum, blackberry, and a subtle hint of anise dance in harmony. A well-balanced acidity complements the bold tannins, creating a luxurious texture that extends into a long, satiny finish, leaving an enduring impression on the palate.

Winemaker’s Notes

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 2021 Count’s Selection Malbec.

Our 2021 Malbec are sourced from a single vineyard in an Eastern pocket of the Alexander Valley. This organically farmed vineyard site sits like an amphitheater on a horseshoe shaped mountainside. The Cortina soil and elevation allow for extremely well drained soil which allow for naturally restrained vines and rich wines that reflect the terroir. The vineyard was harvested on September 13, 2021.
