BRAVIUM

Derek Rohlffs is Bravium’s proprietor and winemaker. He produces vineyard-designated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at his San Francisco winery. St. Helena, CA

With extremely limited production [24 to 672 cases per wine], Derek employs traditional winemaking techniques – gravity-moving his wine, for example – allowing the source fruit to remain at the forefront, vine to bottle. Bravium sources its fruit exclusively from its small, distinct vineyards and family farmers in California’s most unique appellations, including Napa, Sonoma Coast, Mendocino
Ridg

e, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Bravium is focused on the production of vineyard designated wines. Derek has also created a roster of Artisan wine brands, from Proprietary White and Red Blends to Bordeaux Blends from Napa’s Diamond Mountain District. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all Bravium and Artisan brand wines support Sip&Give, the patent-pending social media charitable giving tool. Sip&Give features a wide variety of worthy charities that are funded based upon your wine purchases and votes. Visit sipandgive.com to vote now.

2021 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast [$25]
“Caramel apple aromas and butterscotch flavors lend a rich, indulgent expression to this full-bodied and lush-textured wine. The price is great, too, for a Russian River wine of this quality. Editors’ Choice.” - Jim Gordon

This Chardonnay is grown at our estate Plumis Vineyard. Traditional winemaking - including wild yeast fermentation, full malolactic conversion, and aging in French and Hungarian oak barrels and puncheons - results in a balanced, delicious wine that seriously overdelivers.

I invite you to purchase this Chardonnay and all of my other Bravium wines with a very limited-time 15% discount. Plus, enjoy $15 flat rate shipping on 12+ bottles. Just enter Code WINTER when placing your order at One Stop Wine Shop.

Say hello to the newest member of our family, Indy. He’s going to love visiting vineyards with me, but for now he seems quite content just sitting on my lap as I learn a new way of typing over and around him. PS He’s an Alaskan Klee Kai, as inspired by my friend Jeff

So happy to receive Danny Sullivan’s wines and look forward to enjoying g them. “The name Makasi is derived from a colloquial Bahasa expression of gratitude, honoring Sri Sullivan. It represents the intent of [Danny] to produce personally meaningful wines meant to be generously shared and enjoyed amongst family and friends.”

I am excited to release my 2021 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir and share all of my other Bravium wines with you in celebration of Thanksgiving!
Wine Spectator has rated previous bottlings of this wine 91 Points and today Wine Enthusiast awarded my 2021 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 93 Points: “This beautiful expression of Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley emits immediate aromas of bright red cherry, raspberry and red plum complemented by earthy tones of roses, violets, damp forest floor, fresh mountain air and river-rock minerality. This depth and complexity follows through onto the palate, where fine-grained tannins create a silky texture. Elevated acidity maintains a sense of freshness from start to lingering finish. 93 Points, Editors’ Choice, Best of Year Issue” - Stacy Briscoe, Wine Enthusiast

Thank you so much for supporting my family-owned winery and please let me know what you think once you've tried this delicious Pinot Noir!

Bravium 2021 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
91 Points
“Fresh lemon zest and pineapples, with some praline notes from the fine, creamy oak toast. Fresh and flavorful with a zesty, medium-bodied palate before a long, creamy finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling

This Chardonnay is grown at our estate vineyard named Plumis, Latin for feather, as it is shaped like the Bravium feather icon. It brings together all the best elements of our coastal vineyards: cool-climate acidity and ripeness at relatively low alcohol levels. Traditional winemaking - including wild yeast fermentation, full malolactic conversion, and aging in French and Hungarian oak barrels - results in a balanced, delicious wine.

I invite you to purchase this and all other Bravium with a 20% DISCOUNT and FREE SHIPPING on $250+ orders, Code: FRIENDS. This special pricing is only available this week. Purchase link in bio.

The unsung heroes of Bravium are the amazing sales folks who get my wines in the best restaurants and boutique wine shops across the U.S. At the top of this list is the Fine Wine Team at United Distributors in GA. They started with Bravium just a few years ago and now are a very close second to CA in sales! So great seeing them in Napa and want to shine a light on them here.

Tree hugger from way back Brad Wiley with the Sequoia he planted 37 years ago. 6 feet wide and over 100 feet tall now. Both have stood the test of time.
