Revenge

Red Blend / 2023

Cloaked in a radiant ruby-crimson tone, the wine entices with brooding, expressive aromatics that reveal ripe Damson plum, bramble-grown blackberry, and a delicate trace of floral lift. On the palate, bold yet polished layers emerge—notes of mocha, toasted hazelnut, plush black cherry, and a subtle spark of savory spice glide seamlessly across the tongue. Velvety tannins and bright, well-poised acidity create a graceful balance, carrying through to a long, commanding finish that resonates with elegance and intensity.

Story

The Revenge Red Wine from Buena Vista Winery avenges Count Agoston Haraszthy’s untimely death by a crocodile in Nicaragua in 1869. After leaving Buena Vista in 1868, the Count traveled south to pursue an ambition for sugar growing for rum production. Less than a year after arriving, the brilliant, yet flamboyant life of the Count ended abruptly when he fell from a tree branch while crossing a crocodile-infested stream.

The Count has returned to Buena Vista and adorned this bottle with a gilded crocodile to show that the Count's passion can never be struck down... Revenge is his!
