Bravante 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon

95 POINTS — Wine & Spirits Magazine
“This Cabernet, aged in caves carved out of the volcanic rock at Stone Ridge Vineyard, has nothing overtly fruity about it; instead, the wine completely saturates the palate with its sophisticated, earthy flavors. What’s arresting is its energy, coming through in shades of light and shadow, in an explosion of volcanic intensity that feels monumental and coordinated, the power expressed as motion and dark flavor rather than heat. That liveliness and energy continues to determine the wine’s development over the course of several days, as it will if you keep it in bottle for five years or more.”


93 POINTS — James Suckling
“Impressive focus and a long stream of fine tannins certainly speaks to the quality of the Cabernet fruit at the heart of this wine. Aromas of cassis and blueberries follow through to flavors on the palate in seamless, suave style.
