The Deputy
Elegant mid-weight reds are made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share European sensibilities and a savory food-oriented flavor profile.
FOOD PAIRING: Flexible partners for lighter meats, poultry & seafood (served hot). Ideal for dishes accented with CHEESE, MUSHROOMS or GARLIC, but not suited for spicy heat or sugary foods!

Description
Tasting Notes
The story of our founder is as long as it is colorful. One of California's first sheriffs, Agoston Haraszthy was elected the Sheriff of San Diego County in 1850. He built the first jail and served two exciting years before moving north to pursue "purple gold" and the perfect terroir for fine wines. He found it in Sonoma County where he established Buena Vista Winery in 1857.
WinemakingAroma:The grapes for this wine were carefully selected from prestigious vineyards across California and blended together to develop a complex, fruit-forward wine before being aged in primarily stainless-steel tanks. Vibrant blackberry jam, raspberry and strawberry notes spring from the glass with a touch of sweet spice.
Palate:Lush flavors of plum and black cherry spread across the palate with white pepper. The finish is long and lingers.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:It is our founders’ legacy that inspired this wine and the work of sheriffs everywhere that we honor with its release.
