Quarry Butte 2009 Tasting Notes

Quarry Butte is an elegantly expressive five varietal blend that packs a punch for the value, capturing the unique terroir of Destiny Ridge. It’s loaded with aromatics of vanilla and dried herbs and ripe with berry flavors, rich tannins, hints of cedar, and elegant oak-spice that lead to a balanced structure and lengthy finish. Our Estate Vineyard was historically called Quarry Butte and was slated to become a rock quarry. Today, we are honored for the natural beauty and terroir afforded to us by this amazing vineyard.
