BUENA VISTA, CHATEAU BUENA VISTA, PINOT NOIR, SONOMA COAST
The self-proclaimed Count, and our founder, Agoston Haraszthy, understood that great wine comes not only from great grapes, but also from great places.
In the 1860’s Buena Vista covered more than 6,000 acres reaching from the southernmost part of Sonoma Valley into Napa County. Both regions offer a unique terroir – the magical combination of all the attributes required to create outstanding wines of a particular site – from the soil, to the climate, to the site’s exposure to the sun, to the vine itself.
With the release of the Chateau Buena Vista wines, we celebrate and honour Buena Vista’s indelible presence and significant contributions to the California wine world. These wines are a culmination of the storied history of Buena Vista… a story like no other.
Winemaker’s Notes: Highlighting the Sonoma Coast terroir, the grapes are grown in a cool climate, allowing them to ripen over an extended time resulting in rich, concentrated flavours. The fruit was hand harvested in the early morning hours from prominent Pinot Noir vineyards across the Sonoma Coast including DeLoach Estate, Knob Hill, BCD, Pennacchio, Starkey, van der Kamp, Amaral, Kiser and Sonoma Stage vineyards. Made with minimal intrusive winemaking, the wine was aged in 20% new French oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of black tea and cardamon are layered by notes of blueberry and blackberry. Fresh flavours of cranberry, plum and orange peel provide lively savoury notes with a touch of mineral and cardamon. This is a rich and full-bodied Pinot Noir with balanced acidity and a finely textured finish.
