Bravante Vineyards
Howell Mountain Merlot
Deep purple.
Savory mountain style that could fool most people into thinking it were Cabernet.

Blue fruits. Not bad, but unremarkable. I had its Cab cousin last week that was much better. Maybe even a year or two past prime.

Oct 24th, 2016Starting to come into its own. A Merlot based blend with some Cab Franc and Cab Sauv. Nice firm tannins, good acidity. Plenty of red fruit. This is not a flabby Merlot at all!
