2021 The Count's Selection Grenache

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, 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.

The Vinicultural Society explores clonal selections, varietals and the incredible terroir of Sonoma County. In keeping with the adventurous spirit of Buena Vista's founding, we are proud to bring you this delicious Grenache, a late ripening varietal that originates from Spain.

Our 2021 Counts Selection Grenache embraces you with aromas of fresh raspberry, strawberry, and citrus. The palate is enchanting with flavors of red cherry, cinnamon, and anise with a dusting of cocoa and white pepper. Luxurious, interwoven tannins lead to an extravagantly lengthy and stimulating finish.

2021 was a smooth and uneventful harvest season. June started out warm, followed by a cool and foggy July and August that slowed ripening and caused nice retention of acidity. Even ripening, with no extreme heat events, made forideal growing conditions. Sparse winter rains resulted in an early budbreak, evenly developed clusters, and smaller berries packed full of flavor. Overall, the fruit was exceptional, making it another amazing year for quality.


The grapes for this Carneros Pinot Noir were hand harvested on September 12 before being fermented in open top fermenters and aged in 15% new French oak barrels for 33 months before being bottled.
