Buty Winery Wildebeest Red Wine 09

First, a hit of sweet, perfumed black cherry Syrah. Next, the big, dark, meaty notes of Malbec - leather, earth, tar, dried black currant. Cabernet Sauvignon adds earth, truffle, dark chocolate, and polish. From Buty's own Phinny Hill Vineyard. - Jean

The "Beast" wines, made by Buty Winery, are wines that don't fit their standard lineup - new varietals, new vineyards, or an intriguing new blend.

From the winery -

We tracked Wildebeest into the heart of the vines, enamored by his sleek form, and plucked him from the field. Wildebeest is an over-delivering wine from Phinny Hill Vineyard’s best vintage yet. Its dark purple color is a sign of its oncoming power. The impressive and driving vineyard character of Phinny Hill comes through in this energetic blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and malbec. Prized for tremendous substance, Wildebeest is a stunning catch.
