Bonterra's The Butler is a Southern Rhône-style red blend from Mendocino County, farmed biodynamically and sourced from a single vineyard. The 2020 vintage brings together Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre in a wine built for both immediate pleasure and modest cellaring.
The wine opens with red fruit and spice, a savory backbone that speaks to the blend's Rhône DNA. There's a textural warmth on the palate, with tannins that settle into a dry finish. This is a wine that shows best with a little air, revealing layers of herb and earth alongside the initial fruit. It drinks well now but has the structure to improve over the next few years.
