The story of Bravante Vineyards is one of family, friendship and a love of the land. George & Nancy Bravante founded Bravante Vineyards in 1996, then partnered with old friends in 1997 who shared the vision for great wines and uncompromising quality.
Built on 20 acres of undeveloped land on Howell Mountain, the Bravante Estate Stone Ridge Vineyard was planted in early 1998 by Viticulturist Peter Murphy to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Another small vineyard, just down the road, was acquired in 2000 and planted to the same three varietals, with the addition of small amounts of a Sauvignon Blanc Musque clone, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
The TRIO is a blend of three Bordeaux Varietals together - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is meant to be consumed earlier than its other counterparts but this does not mean it will not age for many years/decades. Showing off the power and structure of Howell Mountain, this wine is sure to impress. Powerful aromas of raspberry, spice, plum and cedar dominate and lead the mind on a powerful journey when paired with bright dark berries, supple tannins, beautiful acidity and a long lingering finish.
