Butler & Thief
Central Coast, California
Taste the terroir of coastal California in this complex, 94 Point Cabernet Sauvignon
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Butler & Thief
Cabernet Sauvignon
One of the most impressive things a winemaker can do is showcase the unique aspects of a vineyard in a bottle of wine. These winemakers highlight the entire environment: peach trees, beehives, citrus groves or any number of things can impart nuances that can’t be recreated elsewhere. The Butler & Thief 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon was made with grapes sourced from vineyards along the coastline of Central California, and the seaside vineyards produced grapes with a medium body and very clean fruit flavors. We think that it’s best when paired with a pork tenderloin stuffed with herbs to bring out the secondary, savory notes in the wine alongside the dominant blackberry and mocha flavors. Our experts did a great job sourcing this one—it took home 94 Points and a Gold medal at the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition, and a Silver medal at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine a ...

WINE REGION:
Central Coast
California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.

TASTING NOTES:
Coffee
Black Cherry
Raspberry
Espresso, raspberry, and dark cherry notes fill the glass. The palate is juicy and full without being heavy. Mild tannins and soft acidity give this versatile wine balance and structure. Pair with meat or vegetables that have been seasoned with herbs and spices to bring out secondary flavors in the wine.
