The Revenge Red Wine from Buena Vista Winery avenges Count Agoston Haraszthy's untimely death by crocodile in Nicaragua in 1869. After leaving Buena Vista in 1868, the Count traveled south to pursue an ambition for sugar growing for rum production. Less than a year after arriving, the brilliant, yet flamboyant life of the Count ended abruptly when he fell from a tree branch while crossing a crocodile-infested stream.
The Count has returned to Buena Vista and adorned this bottle with a gilded crocodile to show the passion of the Count can never be struck down! Revenge is his!
A deep garnet color with dark fruit aromas of black plum, blackberry and a touch of violet. The palate is coated with bold flavors of dark coffee, toasted almond, black cherry and a sprinkle of black pepper.. The tannins are fine and integrated leading to well balanced acidity and a lingering and powerful finish.
