Complex flavors of black currant, plums, black pepper, and mushrooms are layered over herbaceous notes of oregano and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a lingering finish. The Butler will continue developing layers of character with an additional five to ten years of cellaring.
The Tasting Panel
  • tp95

A blend of 63% Petite Sirah, 33% Syrah, 3% Grenache, and 1% Viognier, this single-vineyard, biodynamic estate cuvée is sourced from ridgetop knolls exceeding 2,000 feet in elevation. Well built and dynamic at 15.3% ABV, it shows power driven by chewy tannins as dried violets and espresso roll through a field of spiced blueberries layered with chocolate cake and graphite. Aged for 18 months in 100% (35% new) French oak.

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.
