Big mint chocolate, spruce, damson reduction, cinnamon dusted cedar, ripest blackberry, violet, vanilla bean and even a shadow of juniper on this warm and fuzzy Howell Mountain nose. Medium mouthfeel echoes the damson, presenting bay leaf, smoky raspberry, a touch of graphite and blueberry skins in a tightly rolled and endlessly layered sub-strata that stretches to the horizon. #Trio #bravantevineyards #howell #howellmountain #napavalleyred #napawine #Napa

Soft and velvety with just a hint of spice and tart sweetness. A higher viscosity makes a silky coating on the glass. Very nice

Beautiful blend. Smooth and silky. Can drink alone or pair with red meat.

Short finish on mid-palate. Lacks balance, which is made up for in its overall softness.

Smoky, very mild tannins. Juicy ripe black cherry, plum, hints of vanilla on the nose with a little spice.
