Bravante Vineyards
Red Wine
Howell Mountain
5 cases produced
Description
Wine heaven is above the fog line! This lot is predominantly mountain-grown Cabernet Franc, with an added touch of our Howell Mountain Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. When we blend, we look for suppleness, concentration and structure—all in the delicate balance that will allow proper aging and maximum enjoyment. The palate bursts with blueberries and blackberries, combined with delicate aromas of cedar, spice and chalk. The long velvet finish wraps up a pure representation of the famous Howell Mountain AVA. Enjoy this singular wine from a singular and special spot on the hill, above the fog.
