  • Buena Vista Sonoma Chard 11
    sonoma 2011 Chardonnay ith its roots so deeply ensconced in Wthe foundations of Sonoma where it was established in 1857, Buena Vista Winery is again introducing wines from Sonoma. The Sonoma wines include a diverse array of varietals that celebrate the diversity of Sonoma’s terroir and the contribution of Buena Vista to establishing the California wine world. The 2011 Buena Vista Winery Sonoma Chardonnay comes from some of the finest vineyards in Sonoma. The diversity of Sonoma County’s landscape is what makes it so perfect for grape growing. The strong maritime influence results in cool nights, and days that rarely get too hot, contributing to layers of oceanic fog that creep into Sonoma’s interior valleys. The 2011 growing season experienced cooler than normal temperatures, allowing for slow and even ripening . This resulted in gradual development on the vine, leading to intense, concentrated flavors. This 2011 Sonoma Chardonnay is a medium-bodied wine with aromas of apple and pear and some toasted almond nuances. These flavors carry over to the palate with the addition of honeycomb on the tongue and subtle creaminess. It strikes the perfect balance of acidity and structure, making it the ideal companion to many of your favorite dishes.

  • Buena Vista Sonoma the Count 13
    sonoma 2013 the count Founder's Red Wine he winery’s colorful founder, The Count of Buena TVista, pioneered premium winemaking in California. A tireless and passionate devotee of California wine, The Count imported hundreds of premium vines from Europe, dug Sonoma’s first wine caves, introduced innovative viticulture techniques, and wrote the first treatise on California wine. Buena Vista Winery honors his legacy, bold vision, and commit- ment to excellence through this red wine – the Founder’s Red Wine. From prestigious vineyards across Sonoma, The Count’s intrigu- ing blend of varietals intermingle seamlessly to produce an elegant and complex wine. Individual lots were fermented separately in open and closed-top fermenters and aged for 11 months in Hungarian, French and American oak barrels before final assemblage and bottling. Our 2013 vintage of The Count - Founder’s Red Wine offers seductively teasing aromas of rich dark chocolate, nutmeg and a subtle hint of cinnamon. Dark fruit flavors swathe the palate of this nicely structured, well-balanced wine that culminates in a long, dense finish that sails on and on. This immedi- ately enjoyable wine will continue to evolve in the bottle over the next two to three years. Try it alongside barbequed beef or country-style pork ribs.

The Sonoma wines include a diverse array of varietals that celebrate the diversity of Sonoma’s terroir and the contribution of Buena Vista to establishing the California wine world.

  • BV VS Arpad Zinfandel 08
    Vinicultural Society 2008 arpad'S SELECTION ZINFANDEL he Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, T 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. Known as the Father of California Vinicul- ture, The Count gained this recognition as he and his son, Arpad, collected hundreds of vines across the best regions in Europe to plant in their vineyards in Sonoma. Arpad vigilantly declared that his father was responsible for brining his beloved Zinfandel grape to Sonoma, where it later became a significant varietal to the region. Our 2008 Arpad’s Selection Zinfandel was created to honor Arpad’s commitment to his father’s legacy. Following careful cluster sorting, the must is fermented in small French oak vats. The wine is gently pressed o and aged in barrel, and the components are hand selected for exceptional richness and complexity. Bright aromas of dark cherry blend beautifully with exotic spices as notes of orange rind and black currant grace the palate. Cranberry flavors mingle with clove and cardamom spice as elegant tannins give this wine a lush mouthfeel all before ending in a long, delicious finish.
