BU - Bruliam

Typecast as “The Heartbreak Grape,” pinot noir is also the most plastic, expressive, and beguiling of classic French varietals. We are being unbiased here. Pinot seduces with heady aromatics that range from perfumed violets to candied berry to spice and earth.  At Bruliam, we select vineyards that specifically showcase distinct aromatic and flavor profiles. We source pinor noir from sites so unique and iconic that even a novice alcoholic could distinguish one bottle from the next.

Our current releases:

2010 Wildcat Mountain Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Dark cherry, cola, spice, and sarsaparilla with light lilac top notes characterize this incredibly smooth Sonoma Coast offering. Tasting of pure ripe, candied fruit, this juicy, complex pinot tantalizes with vibrant acid and a lively pop. Expressive, layered and beautiful, this pinot just keeps evolving in the glass.  It’s another Sonoma Coast crowd pleaser.

2010 Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir - Santa Lucia Highlands
With a deep, intense ruby-garnet hue, this pinot expresses dark ripe fruit and exotic berry.  Laced with Chinese cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and clove, the spicy notes balance the big, ripe
fruit in our most full bodied offering.   Sweet tobacco and oak contribute to the fuller tannins and rich intensity.

2010 Deer Meadows Vineyard Pinot Noir – Anderson Valley
This delicate and elegant pinot noir displays aromas of wild strawberries, earth, and sweet cedar.  With patience, the nose
unfurls seductive whiffs of sweet, red fruit.  The restrained nose belies bright flavors of cherry spice and juicy red berries.  With a pop of red raspberry in the mid-palate, this medium bodied pinot is smooth, easy drinking, and a perfect food friendly choice.
