Buena Vista Sonoma County Zinfandel 2017 Country USA Region California Case size 6 / 75cl Deep red in the glass, this wine opens with a bouquet of dark fruit notes and expresses jammy flavors of boysenberries and blackberries complemented by hints of cinnamon. This well-structured wine leaves a long-lasting and vibrant finish.Having left Hungary for the New World, the self-proclaimed Count of Buena Vista Agoston Haraszthy founded Buena Vista in 1857 to pioneer the production of high quality wines in California. Here he introduced ground-breaking viticultural practices such as dry-farming and hillside planting as well as constructing Californias first gravity fed winery. On his death in 1878 the estate was sold off and wine production went through a hiatus until the property was purchased by the Bartholomew family in 1943. Working with the famous winemaker and viticultural pioneer André Tchelistcheff, the winery once again became a force in California during the states post-prohibition resurgence. Following several changes in ownership, the historic winery was purchased in 2011 by the Boisset family from Burgundy. Under Jean-Charles Boisset the winery has undergone extensive renovation and the Counts original vision is being pursued with renewed vigour.
