Description
From the fog-kissed “Deep End” of Anderson Valley, Bravium’s 2023 Pinot Noir is a textbook expression of cool-climate California — floral, complex, and hauntingly savory. Sourced from some of Mendocino County’s most storied vineyard sites, this is Pinot Noir at its most expressive.
- Nose: Cherry cola, herbal tea, pennyroyal mint, rose petal, damp soil and cinnamon spice

- Finish: Saline, intriguingly savory and persistently long.
