Buena Vista California Pinot Noir (2023)
The 2023 Vintage
While Buena Vista is synonymous with the heritage of Napa and Sonoma, their California range allows the winemaking team to cast a wider net, sourcing fruit from premier cool-climate pockets across the state.
This Pinot Noir is a tribute to the "Count" Agoston Haraszthy’s original vision of exploring diverse terroirs to find the most elegant expression of the grape. The winemaking is handled with a light touch, emphasizing vibrancy and varietal purity. By selecting fruit from regions where the Pacific fog moderates the afternoon sun, the wine retains a crisp, energetic backbone.
A combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak ensures the delicate red fruit aromatics remain the focus, resulting in a wine that feels incredibly bright and accessible. It delivers a classic profile of wild strawberry, Bing cherry, and a hint of forest floor, all held together by supple, fine-grained tannins. Pouring this wine offers an authentic taste of California’s coastal influence—sophisticated, charming, and highly drinkable.
