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.

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.

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.
