Buena Vista Winery Vinicultural Society Sonoma Pinot Noir 2018 Review
Buena Vista Winery is one of the first wineries to pop up in Sonoma after the gold rush, when this area was just being explored as a place to grow wine. Established by the legendary Agoston Haraszthy in 1857, today it is still going strong and this north coast Pinot Noir shows that they've still got it. For the price, this wine is a steal. Bright berry fruit with no real oak on the nose and a nice earthy layer. It's an overall very well-balanced wine and an excellent weeknight bottle.
