One of the original Biodynamic vineyards planted in the United States, McNab Ranch is the agricultural heart of Bonterra Vineyards. A century after its beginnings as a sheep ranch, the protected site nestled in a box canyon was transformed into a world-class winegrowing estate renowned for its elegant integration of grapevines and the surrounding natural habitat's rhythms and wildlife. This Bordeaux-style blend is the single-vineyard expression of the exquisite McNab Ranch. It opens with an appealing chorus of black plum, potpourri, cracked pepper and bittersweet chocolate notes. Polished tannins frame a generous mid-palate, where notions of raspberry coulis, rose petal and aniseed underpin rich, nuanced notes of Portobello, espresso and grilled toast. - Jeff Cichocki, Winemaker.
