Bonterra The Butler Red Blend 2020 (750 ml)

This single-vineyard cuvée is made with certified biodynamic grapes (63% Syrah, 18% Petite Sirah, 12% Mourvèdre, 6% Grenache, and 1% Viognier) from a mountain estate at an elevation exceeding 1,500 feet. Aged 14 months in (12% new) French oak, it's a liquid feast held up by sturdy, chewy tannins. Violets and boysenberry serve as focal points within the well- developed structure while the sumptuous texture glides across the palate, where bacon fat, tilled soil, juicy plum, and pomegranate integrate en route to a maple-oak finish.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 95:
Big, broad aromas of black fruit, black pepper and wood smoke give way to well-saturated black cherries, tar and singed rosemary flavors in this dramatic and concentrated wine made from Biodynamic grapes. Tightly knit tannins add great structure to the mouth-feel, setting the wine up for a long life. Made from 63% Syrah, 18% Petite Sirah, plus Mourvedre, Grenache and Viognier. Best from 2026-2036.
