Quarry Butte 2009 Tasting Notes

(Available June)
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, dried
herbs and, ripe with berry flavors, rich tannins, hints 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.
