Bonterra passionately believes that organic grapes make
better wine. Since 1993, Bonterra has been producing wine from 100% organically
grown grapes using certified organic practices such as composting, cover crops
and biodiversity. These practices
produce grapes that offer a quality of fruit and vibrancy of taste that express
the purity and intensity of each varietal’s unique character.
- SUCCULENT
- Black Plums
- Dark Cherries

Aged for 12 months with French and American oak with medium
to medium plus toast, with 30% new oak. Merlot
is one of Bonterra’s most distinctive expressions, Biodynamicly farmed at the
McNab Ranch with a strong representation from Mendocino vineyards; Los Cerros and others. McNab has loamy, well-drained soils and
an average elevation of 800 feet, which allows most of the blocks to experience
temperature swings of 50 degrees. This ranch provides fruit that proves that
organic farming makes better wines.

Thank you for this review. I bought this wine in a grocery store while I was on vacation in Vermont, attracted by the information on the label that it was made with organic grapes. I loved the wine. It doesn't have the bitter taste that is so characteristic of non-organic grapes and wine. So I wanted to buy it again, and went online to find out where I could get it and came across your blog. I enjoyed reading the info you included about it, and about the company that makes it.
