Bonterra Ranch Wine

Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bonterra Ranch Wine opens with plush blackberry and plum layered over gentle spice and cedar, medium to full in body with supple tannins and a clean, food‑friendly finish that keeps you reaching for another sip; it’s crafted in California with a focus on sustainably grown, often organic fruit, reflecting its United States origin, and comes in at ABV 0.145 for a touch of warmth without heaviness, which is why I love pouring it with a weeknight grilled steak or a slow‑roasted chicken where its ripe fruit and balanced acidity elevate every bite.
