Our Lucky Proprietary Red Wine is powerful and deep with flavors of cherry, mocha, and cinnamon spice that persists on the smooth and complex finish. The palate delivers flavors of cherry, vanilla and leather followed by subtle layers of toasty oak and firm tannins.
The Wine
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel form the foundation of this red blend, providing dark fruit flavors, a plush mouthfeel, and spicy notes. Petite Sirah represents a small fraction of the blend, yet its firm tannins and balanced acids provide much in the way of the structure of Lucky. Againg primarily in French oak barrels - most netral - gives Lucky texture uncommon for wines in its category. The wine is made and bottled in Rohlff's Treasure Island facility.
Cool ocean breezes and fog from the Pacific Ocean provide ideal maritime conditions for producing Lucky's premium North Coast wines. Flavor-packed, our wines are handcrafted with authentic cool climate varietal flavors that delight at every sip.

2013 Noiro Pinot Noir, California
The 2013 Noiro Pinot Noir is approachable and fruit-driven, with balanced acidity. This is a decidedly California-style Pinot Noir. Aged in new and (mostly) used French oak barrels, this wine possesses a brilliant dark garnet red color and exotic aromas of orange peel and vanilla, alongside red fruit. A burst of dark cherry moves smoothly to secondary citrus and strawberry fruit flavors, framed by a complex mocha note. Decidedly medium-bodied, with a lush mouthfeel, silky tannins, and fresh acidity. With great structure and true varietal character, the quality fruit in this wine delivers on its promise.
100% Pinot Noir, featuring fruit from five of Central and Northern California's finest vineyards and most prestigious appellations. Bravium Winery specializes in producing vineyard-designated Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes that go into our Noiro cuvee come from the following world-class vineyards and appellations, listed from south to north:
Vineyards
Rosella's Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands
Beau Terroir Vineyard in Napa Carneros
Seppa Vineyard in Sonoma Coast
Signal Ridge Ridge Vineyard in Mendocino Ridge
Wiley Vineyard in Anderson Valley
Winemaking
The growing season in our cool-climate Pinot Noir vineyards is relatively lengthy, allowing for physiological ripeness and full flavor development on the vine. In the winery, Pinot Noir was carefully destemmed and pressed upon arrival at the winery, retaining approximately 20% whole clusters in the fermenters. Fermentation initiated spontaneously in a combination of oak and stainless steel fermenters, with twice-daily hand punchdowns followed by gravity racking to new and neutral French oak barrels for 10 months of aging. Because of the stellar vineyard sites and ripe fruit, the 2013 Noiro is a balanced, food-friendly wine that seriously over-delivers in price to value.
Vinification: Combination of open-top fermented, tank, and barrel fermented lots, aged mostly in neutral French oak

Vendor Details
Outlier Wine Company
Founded:
2007
Owner:
Derek Rohlffs
Location:
Treasure Island, San Francisco, California
Outlier Wine Co. offers balanced, flavorful and well-priced wines that make any occasion more festive. With distinctive packaging and memorable names, the wines include White Wedding Proprietary White and Lucky Red Blend. Proprietor and winemaker Derek Rohlffs is recognized as one of northern California’s new rising star winemakers for his single vineyard Bravium wines as well as the very successful Outlier Wine Co. line.
Through his Cherokee ancestry and California upbringing, Derek was drawn to nature since childhood. He pursued this passion in college, graduating in 1993 with honors from the prestigious Environmental Studies program at UCSB. While his degree was a great foundation for winemaking, it wasn’t until several years later that he would find his calling.
Raising money for charities ultimately provided the spark. At fundraisers, Derek had the opportunity to taste many great wines. He became fascinated by wine’s many facets, including geography, agriculture and chemistry, and found many parallels to his environmental studies background. Eager to learn more, he took a stint at a wine shop that featured tastings with great producers. The experience ignited his desire to make wine himself.
Once he began winemaking in 2000, Derek proved to be a natural. Within 5 years, he had developed private label wines for famous chefs as well as his own brands of value wines, several of which became best sellers of online retailers. These projects would serve as funding for his ultimate ambition—Bravium’s terroir-driven wines from great Northern California vineyards—which launched in 2007.
For his Outlier Wine Co. wines, Derek selects fruit with great balance and flavor that can be made into affordable and thoroughly enjoyable wines.
For his winemaking style, Derek takes inspiration from the great wineries of Italy and France, such as Domaine Tempier, as well as Jeff Brinkman, the esteemed winemaker at Rhys Vineyards. Winemaking is focused on the vineyard; in the cellar, less is more. For Pinots, no fining or filtering, to allow the source fruit to remain at the forefront, vine to bottle. And for Chardonnay, whole cluster pressing with partial malolactic fermentation delivers aromatics and freshness. The Outlier Wine Co. wines are blended to ensure consistent quality from year to year.
Outlier Wine Co. is located on Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay. The name Bravium (Latin for “reward, prize or gift”) dovetails with Derek’s Sip & Give program that donates a portion of wine sales to worthy charities selected by customers.
