Buttonwood Merlot Santa Ynez Valley 750 ML

This fresh, twist-top bottling makes for a great weekday table win, starting with aromas of light red fruit, oregano and damp wood. There’s a strong herbal kick to the palate, which gives depth to the tangy cranberry fruit and lighter texture. n n Producer Information n Buttonwood Farm is a small gem set amidst the splendor of Santa Barbara County’s Santa Ynez Valley. The farm is a shining example of the vision of their founder, Betty Williams. Betty was always ahead of her time, and in the 60’s set out to create a working farm based on good practices for people, animals and the earth. First there were horses, then organic vegetables and finally, a vineyard. Today, the 39-acre vineyard stretches across a sun-drenched mesa on the eastern portion of the 106-acre property. Buttonwood started planting in 1983 and they now have 33,000 vines, small in the world of wine, but huge to them. The tasting room is surrounded by other bounty from the farm, including olives, pomegranates, peonies, herbs, summer vegetables and of course, their famous peaches!
