Bravium Wiley Vineyard Pinot Noir is a compelling, single-vineyard expression that captures balance, depth, and a true sense of place. Crafted by Derek Rohlffs, the guiding force behind Bravium Wines, this wine reflects a minimalist, terroir-driven philosophy rooted in restraint, precision, and respect for the land.
Each vineyard block was fermented separately in small stainless steel fermenters, with 33% whole clusters included to enhance structure, aromatics, and complexity. The wine pours a luminous ruby red and opens with exotic, layered aromas of lilac, rose petals, Asian spice, cracked pepper, herbs, and earthy soil tones. On the palate, red and blue fruits take center stage, joined by nuanced notes of mocha and mandarin orange.
Full-bodied yet graceful, the texture is velvety with moderate, well-integrated tannins that carry through a long, detailed finish. While beautifully accessible today, this Wiley Vineyard Pinot Noir possesses the structure and balance to age gracefully for decades, a rare quality among Pinot Noir.
Bravium’s wines are produced in extremely limited quantities and are typically available only to mailing list members and a select group of boutique bottle shops and top restaurants. This bottling exemplifies Derek Rohlffs’ patient, hands-off approach—allowing each coastal vineyard to speak clearly and transparently in the glass.
An exceptional pairing for roasted poultry, duck, mushroom-driven dishes, and refined cuisine, this is a serious, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir for collectors and thoughtful drinkers alike.Bravium Wiley Vineyard Pinot Noir is a compelling, single-vineyard expression that captures balance, depth, and a true sense of place.
