The grapes are sourced from four different sites in Carneros, spanning the heavy clay soils of the eastern side to the sandier soils of the western side of the AVA. Harvest was made by hand at night.
The grapes were hand sorted and gently destemmed. They were then fermented in small open-top fermenters before being gently pressed and aged in a mix of French and Hungarian oak barrels for ten months, of which around one-fifth is new.
Flavours of wild strawberries, cranberries, caramel, and cardamom follow the aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and white pepper. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins and a clean, balancing acidity

| Winery | Founded in 1857 by the self-proclaimed ‘Count of Buena Vista’ Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista pioneered the production of high-quality wines in California. Here, he introduced ground-breaking viticultural practices such as dry farming and hillside planting and constructed California’s first gravity-fed winery. Following several changes in ownership, the historic winery was purchased in 2011 by the Boisset family from Burgundy. Under Jean-Charles Boisset, the winery has undergone extensive renovation, and the Count’s original vision is being pursued with renewed vigour. The grapes are sourced from four different sites in Carneros, spanning the heavy clay soils of the eastern side to the sandier soils of the western side of the AVA. Harvest was made by hand at night. |
