Bonterra was practicing organic farming when it wasn't cool.  Long before organic produce filled the shelves, Bonterra was committed to organic and Biodynamic farming.  A green pioneer since 1993, they passionately believe organic grapes lead to better wines.  Their McNab Ranch Vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 1996.  In 2021, they became the first organic winery to become climate neutral.  Bonterra epitomizes wines that are perfectly in tune with nature and are a celebration of farm-fresh flavors.  All of their acclaimed varietal wines are 100% certified organic.  The exceptional character of their wine expresses the harmony of meticulous winemaking brought together with vibrantly flavorful fruit.  In 2016, Wine Enthusiast named them the American Winery of the Year because they produce some of the most consistently superb wine in America.  The 2020 Bonterra Single Vineyard "The McNab" Cabernet Sauvignon is wonderfully complex and elegant.  It's sophisticated, but powerful with round, full fruit.  It has notes of black fruit, plums, mocha, cocoa, cedar, savory herbs, mint tea and vanilla bean.  This Cabernet is smooth with a lingering finish and fine-grained tannins.  It's age-worthy and a perfect cellar selection.  Enjoy!  

Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points 

"This potent but sophisticated wine combines powerful, focused black fruit flavors with restrained mint, toast and cocoa accents cradled by fine-grained tannins that help it glide smoothly through the palate and lingering finish. Boosted by 20% Petite Sirah, it will drink best from 2025-2035. *Cellar Selection*" 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2020 McNab delivers wonderful complexity and elegance, with round, full fruit and age-worthy structure. The nose offers a basket of sweet purple, blue and black berries scented with vanilla bean and a touch of summer bramble. The palate bursts with blue fruit and plums braided with fragrant mocha, cedar, cloves, pepper, savory herbs and pencil lead. Tightly-woven oak tannins support the wine through its long finish of mint tea and black fruits."
