The grapes are sourced from four different sites in Carneros, spanning the heavy clay soils of the eastern side to the sandier soils of the western side of the AVA. Harvest was made by hand at night.
The grapes were hand sorted and gently destemmed. They were then fermented in small open-top fermenters, before
being gently pressed and then aged in a mix of French and Hungarian oak barrels for ten months, of which around one
fifth is new.

Winery | Founded in 1857 by the self-proclaimed ‘Count of Buena Vista’ Agoston Haraszthy, Buena Vista pioneered 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 California’s first gravity-fed winery. 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 Count’s original vision is being pursued with renewed vigor.
