Vinicultural Society


The Count's Selection

Merlot / 2022

Inviting aromas rise from the glass, revealing layers of ripe blackberry, plum, and subtle baking spice. This Merlot boasts rich flavors of black cherry, cassis, and brambleberry, elegantly complemented by hints of dark chocolate, unfolding across a supple, polished palate. Silky tannins and a touch of integrated oak carry through to a smooth, lingering 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 Northern California.
