The Count's Selection

Pinot Meunier / 2021

Our 2021 Pinot Meunier opens with fresh aromas of bing cherry and raspberry with a hint of rich minerality. This is a medium-bodied wine with juicy red fruit flavors of strawberry and plum a soft touch of mushroom. The finish is brilliant and alluring.

Tasting Notes

Story

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society was formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards. The Vinicultural Society has been restored as a collection of unique small-production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The collection of wines explores clonal selections, varietals and the incredible terroir of Sonoma County.

Winemaker’s Notes

In keeping with the adventurous spirit of Buena Vista’s founding, we are proud to bring you this delicious 2021 Pinot Meunier, a varietal not so uncommon in years past, but which has become a bit more difficult to find in modern times. The grapes were handpicked in the early morning hours to ensure they retained their maximum freshness. The wine was then aged for 10 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
