New Wine Release!

Wine Release Party
Date: Saturday & Sunday, December 11 & 12
Time: 10:00am - 5:00pm

B.R. Winery is pleased to announce the release of our 2008 Olive Hill Estate Malbec. On Dec 11th and 12th, tasting room guests will be treated to holiday hors d’oeuvres and a complementary tasting of this fantastic Malbec.

The 2008 Olive Hill Estate Malbec was produced with grapes grown exclusively from our Olive Hill Estate Vineyards in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. Underground natural hot springs warm the soil, and gentle ocean breezes create a unique micro-climate perfectly suited for growing this unique Bordeaux variety. An exclusive bottling of only 100 cases were made, so get it now before it is gone!

Our Malbec is filled with bright plum, cherry, and berry aromas surrounded by a bouquet of spice, violet, and cedar, making this vintage one to remember. It was aged in only the best tight-grain French oak barrels. I hope you enjoy this wine as much as my family and I do.
