Bravium 2021 Pinot Noir Signal Ridge Mendocino

The 2021 Bravium Signal Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir from Mendocino Ridge is a highly aromatic, structured and elegant Pinot Noir — vibrant yet mineral‑driven, and delightfully ageable.

• Nose & Aromas: Exotic and perfumed – think white pepper, soy, rose petal, garrigue, blackberry, dark cherry, and orange peel 

• Palate: Deep, intensely pure, with bright acidity, silky texture, and fine-grained tannins. Flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, orange peel, cranberry, baking spices, and mineral-laced finish 

• Structure & Aging: Medium-bodied with excellent focus and grip. Mineral- and tannin-driven finish suggests strong aging potential 

• Viticulture & Winemaking: Grown at high elevation (~2,700 ft), organically dry-farmed, aged 10 months in a mix of French and Hungarian oak barrels (30–33% new)

• Critical Acclaim & Value: Seen as a benchmark of the 2021 vintage — often likened to the 2019/2018 bottlings that scored in the low‑90s (e.g., 92–93 pts)
