Tasting Notes

Bonneau’s first red wine release from Sonoma County features equal amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes selected from two outstanding vineyards - one located in the Dry Creek appellation and the other on Sonoma Mountain. To enhance and compliment the wine, Petit Verdot and Malbec varietals were blended. In the glass, you'll find a deep purple-ruby color and wafting aromas of blackberry, ripe raspberry, and cranberry mingled with mocha, cassis and allspice.

Our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and luscious on the palate, with tannins that are finely integrated with a defined amount of French oak. The texture is smooth as black cherry, juicy black fruit and ripe fig flavors capture the mouth, and the finish is long lasting and satisfying. This wine is made to enjoy...

Tasting Notes

This exquisite Chardonnay is bright golden yellow in color, and aromas of ripe, juicy apples and ripe tropical fruits jump out at you. These ripe fruit flavors fill the palate along with vanilla, caramel and cream derived from aging 10 months in high-quality French oak. The texture is supple with a smooth, silky feel in the mouth.

This is a complete and opulent wine that releases its sweet, spicy oak and pineapple flavors before leading to a long, insistent finish. This well-balanced wine has layers of complexity and richness that demonstrate the care and attention to detail in the making of this wine.

Bonneau Chardonnay goes well with Brie and fruit, as well as light pasta, rich seafood, poultry & veal. Enjoy the wine now - however,...

Tasting Notes

The wine shows a deep purple-ruby hue accompanied by fragrant suggestions of blackberries, dark plums, raspberries and cassis with supporting notes of black pepper and oily spices (clove and nutmeg). On the palate the wine is smooth, juicy and plump with great integration of fruit and spice, with full body and great purity. The finish is long and refined. Having been aged 18 months in high quality French Oak barrels, you may enjoy this wine currently or allow for additional aging in the bottle.

Suggested food pairings include pasta, red sauces, robust cheeses, lamb and venison.

Tasting Notes

Sourced from top vineyards located between the Rutherford Bench and Yountville, our first red wine release shows a deep purple-ruby color with aromas of blackberry and black cherry intermixed with mocha, cassis, and spice. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate with finely integrated tannins and silky smooth texture where more ripe, juicy black fruits emerge. The finish is succulent and expansive. While this wine is a treat to enjoy in its youth, it will continue to gain depth and richness for 5-7 years.

Suggested food pairings include well aged cheeses (Asiago and Blue Cheeses, especially), hearty pasta dishes (canalone, carbonara) and is a natural match for steaks, roasts and wild game.
