Buena Vista Winery honors his legacy, bold vision, and commitment to excellence through this red wine – the Founder ’s Red Wine.

Winemaking
From prestigious vineyards across Sonoma, The Count’s intriguing varietals intermingle seamlessly to produce an elegant and complex wine. Individual lots were fermented separately and aged for 12 months in American, Hungarian, and French oak barrels before final assemblage.

The Count seduces the palate with enticing red fruit aromas accented by hints of mocha and exotic spices.

Palate
Dark fruit flavors envelop the palate and are heightened by cinnamon and vanilla. This is a well-balanced wine with great structure and good acidity – making it the perfect companion with a variety of dishes. We suggest trying it alongside pasta al pomodoro.
