Bonterra Vineyards Syrah - 2005

Bonterra Vineyards Syrah

Winery Story

On 378 acres of steep hills and rolling valleys in mountainous Mendocino County, California, grows one of the world’s premier organic vine... (more...)yards: Bonterra’s McNab Ranch. The land was first recognized as ideal for grape growing early in the 20th century. Since 1987, we have farmed this fertile expanse according to advanced organic practices. Each element of its carefully balanced ecosystem has a role in creating the ranch’s signature bounty.

Tasting Note

Our Syrah vineyards, including the newer Biodynamically farmed Butler Ranch, which ranges upwards to 1600 feet above sea level and represent... (more...)s a third of this vintage blend, are just teasing their prime growing years and you can see it reflected in the wines's brilliant crimson color and intense, heady aromas of black cherry and wild mountain blackberries before giving way to bitter-sweet, vanilla chocolate. The tannins are velvety smooth and supple. The oak is wonderfully integrated, with complementary flavors of cedar.
