In stock

Buena Vista is California's first premium winery, founded in 1857, but this is the bottle that earns the history. Carneros sits at the cool southern tip of Sonoma, where fog and bay breezes draw out a long, slow ripening - the conditions that let Pinot Noir keep its lift and perfume rather than turning heavy.

The fruit is hand-picked at night to lock in freshness, fermented in small batches and aged under a year in mostly older oak, so the wine stays bright and red-fruited rather than oaky. The result is a silky, medium-bodied Pinot with the savoury, tea-leaf edge that makes good Carneros fruit drink so much like red Burgundy.

In the glass it's pale and perfumed - red cherry, raspberry and a whisper of spice, supple and fresh, with a long, lifted finish. Serve lightly chilled, around 14-16°C.

The 2021 Vintage

Carneros sits at the cool, foggy southern end of Sonoma, where the bay air slows everything down and Pinot Noir keeps its lift. The 2021 fruit was hand-picked at night to lock in freshness, then fermented in small batches and aged under a year in mostly older oak - enough to round it out without masking the fruit. The result is bright and silky, red-cherried and lightly savoury, with the kind of finish that makes the glass disappear.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

This is one of our favourites, and the bottle we most often press into people's hands - it wins over everyone who tries it. It has the lift and the savoury, tea-leaf edge of proper red Burgundy, but with Carneros sunshine in the fruit. Criminally easy to drink. If you only take one recommendation from us, make it this.

Buena Vista Winery

Founded in 1857 by the visionary Count Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista is California’s oldest premium winery and a cornerstone of American viticultural history. Nestled in the Sonoma Valley, this legendary estate pioneered the introduction of European Vitis vinifera vines to the state. Today, operating from its original, hand-carved stone cellars, Buena Vista champions terroir-driven Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and heritage Zinfandel. Meticulously honoring its aristocratic past, the winery delivers classically structured, elegant expressions of Sonoma County that seamlessly bridge centuries of Old World pedigree with vibrant New World energy.

Sonoma County

Sonoma is one of California's most varied wine counties - a vast sweep of valleys, coastline and redwood country running from the cool Pacific shore to warm inland hills. That range is the whole point: cold fog reaches deep inland to give crisp Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast, while old-vine Zinfandel and ripe Cabernet come off the warmer sites, each from its own pocket. A working, farm-country wine region with something of everything.
