| THE COUNT FOUNDER'S RED 2014 Sonoma County |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BUENA VISTA |
| Deep intense purple colour. Faintly sweet, slightly spicy, baked cherry nose with some vanilla-cedar notes. Fairly dry, medium to medium-full bodied, spicy, black cherry puree flavours with a lingering, crisp, slightly cedary finish. This unidentified blend has 14.5% alcohol and an elevated 9 g/L residual sugar. Better than the sweeter 2013 (*+/**) with 87-points released on February 20, 2016 at $26.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Lightly cedary, plum and blackberry nose with vanilla oak notes; full-bodied, richly extracted, sweet blackcurrant and blueberry flavours; soft on the palate but firmly structured. |

| Gold Medal winner and awarded Best of Class of Region at the 2016 California State Fair. TASTING NOTE: This winery's colourful founder, the Count of Buena Vista, pioneered premium winemaking in California: he imported vines from Europe, dug Sonoma's first wine caves and introduced innovative viticultural techniques. This Zinfandel-based blend shows red plum, cherry, mulberry and smoky grilled meat notes on a wave of tangy acidity. Pour with savoury herbed ribs and unpeeled mashed potatoes.
