2022
The Deputy
Sensous soft easy-drinking reds are ripe & fruity, but not tart or tannic. They are thoroughly modern “crowd-pleasers” that do not need food to taste their best, and some are not fully dry.
FOOD PAIRING: These fruity reds can handle sugar and spice better than more classic reds, so they are perfect for ASIAN CUISINE, COMFORT FOODS, BRUNCH DISHES plus casual fare like BURGERS & BBQ.

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.
This wine is also available to purchase by the case through our Custom Label Program.
WinemakingAroma:The wine opens with strikingly intense aromas of dried boysenberry, blackberry preserves, currant, licorice, and vanilla.
Palate:The palate reveals concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, raspberry, velvety plum, and toffee, complemented by hints of clove. This California Zinfandel boasts balanced acidity and polished tannins. A deep rich texture, and long finish round out the profile of this elegant, lush wine.
