Winery review: The 2011 Butternut is a wine that lives up to its name. It has round, creamy notes, hints of hazelnut and a finish that doesn't want to quit. Grapes from the regions of Carneros and Coombsville in Napa and Santa Lucia and Arroyo Seco in Monterey broaden the flavor profile of Butternut. The 2010 Butternut spent 14 months in 100% new French oak. From a group of savvy wine blenders based in St. Helena, Napa Valley.

My review: This wine is nothing to write home about. The nose was tiny and only had a tiny hint of pear. The mid pallet was watery and light. The finish was very long and tart. It was much too oak-y for my enjoyment. 

I tried this wine without food.
