Bonterra The Butler Single Vineyard Cuvee Mendocino 2014 750 ML

This single-vineyard expression of the unique Butler Ranch is a Rhône-style blend. Deep purple, this monumental wine leads with intense, complex aromas of blackberry, cigar paper, and espresso. On the palate, muscular tannins frame a juicy mid-palate, enhancing elegant flavors of black fruit, anise, crushed rocks and suggestions of game and spice. The finish lingers with notions of kirsch and smoke, closing on an intriguing mineral note. Producer Information \n Organically farmed and masterfully crafted, Bonterra Organic Vineyards epitomizes wines that are perfectly in tune with nature. A celebration of farm-fresh flavors, the portfolio features wines coaxed from the earth by careful farming practices carried out on a dynamic network of estate and partner farms throughout California. In addition to a widely available collection of organically farmed wines that includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Equinox Red and Rosé, Bonterra crafts a trio of sought-after single-vineyard offerings from estate Biodynamic® vineyards in Mendocino County, and The Elysian Collection Merlot, an elevated offering from organic grapes. Long before organic produce filled the shelves of neighborhood groceries, the dedicated team at Bonterra was committed to organic and Biodynamic® farming because they passionately believe that farms teeming with biodiversity—encompassing vines, insects and wildlife, and healthy soils—yield organic grapes leading to better wines. Whether supporting the health of honeybees with hive housing in its organic vineyards, trading tractors for sheep to maintain vineyards during the winter months, or giving back to the future of agriculture through educational outreach and shared knowledge, Bonterra strives to leave behind a legacy of thoughtful winegrowing inspired by the potential of nature itself.
