Syrah / 2021
An exquisite gem of a Syrah, resplendent in its deep ruby robe, this wine unfurls its allure with luscious, dark fruit aromas that dance in harmony with a tantalizing hint of clove.. The palate is lavishly graced with the embrace of dense blackberry and cassis flavors. Within its medium-bodied grace lies a world of complexity, as layers of cocoa and black pepper artfully intertwine with each sip, creating a delightful tapestry of flavors. Here, supple tannins, like the finest silk, and expertly balanced acidity join in a harmonious ballet, culminating in a long, immensely satisfying finish that etches an indelible mark upon the senses, ensuring an unforgettable memory.

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.
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 Syrah.
Our 2021 Syrah was produced entirely from fruit grown in the Old Winery Vineyard, located just a stone’s throw from the historic Buena Vista Winery. This vineyard lies atop gradually sloping soils contained within the boundaries of Agoston Harazthy’s original Buena Vista planting. The Huichica Loam soil series provides an ideal environment for expansive root growth, with drainage allowing for naturally restrained vines.
