Region: Butler Ranch Vineyard, Mendocino County, USA
Varietal: 81% Syrah, 14% Petite Syrah, 4% Grenache, 1% Viognier
Tasting Note: This single-vineyard expression of the unique butler ranch is a Rhone-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 flavours 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.
Alcohol: 15.2%
