Buena Vista, Sonoma County (California) “The Count” Red Wine 2015

($20):  If you haven’t visited Buena Vista since the new regime came to town, you should definitely stop in and see what Jean Charles Boisset is up to with the restoration, and you can meet the Count while you’re there.  Make sure you ask him to taste you on his namesake’s wine — it’s a fitting tribute to the original Count Agoston Haraszthy, with a sassy spice profile joining bright red fruit.  A tasty, drink anytime red.  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
