Meet the winemaker

I met the guy who made this wine at my favorite wine shop in Miami, FL. The owner of the shop called me and said “Dan is here, you should come and beg him to make wine for you,” and I did exactly that.

Dan (which may or may not be his real name) and his crew are very passionate about three things: organic regenerative farming, low intervention (but highly thoughtful) winemaking, and blending. And they don't use these terms as crutches to make average wine sound better - they have over a hundred 90+ scores from Wine Spectator & other major critics.

This wine is especially important because this past year was so difficult for small California wineries. I love that we were able to come in and help some guys keep their operations going. The fruit in this bottle was grown on rocky volcanic soils and is almost impossible to get during normal times - and makes wine that will only get better the older it gets.

technicalities

This is a Right Bank Bordeaux-style Blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. It was sourced from vineyards in Alexander Valley, known for producing reds with rich fruit flavors and balanced tannins in a more old-world style of winemaking than Napa.

The grapes underwent an extended maceration process, followed by aging in 100% second-use French oak for 17 months.

This blend presents aromas of blackcurrant and plum, with subtle hints of cocoa and pencil shavings. The palate is full-bodied, showcasing dark fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a lingering finish. It is a powerful and elegant wine.

Region: Alexander Valley (Sonoma)

FAQ

Here are some of the most common questions we get from our customers.
Reach out to us at hey@bruno.wine if you didn't find an answer

What makes Bruno different from other wine shops?

We’re scrappy, independent, and fiercely quality-focused. No boring bottles. No bloated markups. Just small-batch wines we actually drink, packed by a team that hustles hard to make sure you get a damn good experience.

When will my order ship?

Orders typically ship within 2–3 business days. We're a small team and we pack each bottle with care (because they're glass and deserve respect). Around busy drops, it may take a bit longer, but we always work overtime to get your wine to you fast.

How do I track my order?

Once your order ships, you’ll get an email with a tracking link. You can also check your order status anytime by logging into your Bruno account.

Can I change my shipping address after placing the order?

If your order hasn't shipped yet, yes. If it has, we can't reroute packages once they’re in UPS’s hands. Reach out ASAP and we’ll do our best.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?

Because we sell alcohol, we legally can't accept returns. But if something went wrong with your order, we have a Money-Back Guarantee that covers one bottle. Just reach out and we'll make it right.
