Bravium Pinot Noir Av 21

Created by winemaker Derek Rohlffs, Bravium is the culmination of meticulous care in the vineyards and a patient approach in the cellar. Derek takes his cues from tradition. He doesn't alter what the earth gives him. He's a classic minimalist. Derek draws on hillside and mountaintop fruit in the coveted cool-climate vineyards of Sonoma's Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson Valley to create terroir-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wine later travels by gravity into French oak barrels, where its ages for the better part of a year. This gentle movement and eschewing of sterile filtration allows the final wines to be terroir-driven snapshots of their vineyards and appellations.
