“The proprietor of Bravium, Derek Rohlffs, makes this blanc de noirs entirely from barrel-aged pinot noir from the Wiley Vineyard in the Anderson Valley. Mr. Rohlffs takes a minimalist approach, adding nothing to the wine beyond a small amount of sulfur dioxide, a widely used stabilizer and antioxidant. The wine is dry and highly refined, with length, depth and complexity. It’s very good now and will get even better with a few years of age.” – Eric Asimov, The New York Times
