Patatas Bravante

TASTING NOTES: “The 2021 TRIO opens with pleasant aromas of dried savory herbs and dusty cocoa powder, giving way to bright red fruits, along with anise, lavender, and tobacco. On first sip, a jolt of red cherries hits the front of your palate, with soft, juicy tannins filling the mouth, showcasing vanilla and cinnamon characteristics from the oak, while the dark chocolate-encased fruit brings mouthwatering acidity, enticing the taster to have another sip.

The palate also presents our trademark Howell Mountain & Bravante Vineyards rich plum, which we have learned over 20 years will often show up. This wine is always made in an “enjoy now” style, however it will cellar well for 5-7 years.” (AbV 14.7%)

VARIETALS: 54% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Patatas bravas.

A tapas-restaurant staple, born out of Madrid, Spain. Chunks of roasted potatoes are sauced up with an orange salsa with a little spice but perhaps a bit more sweetness to it. Sometimes places will drizzle some sort of aioli on top.

There exists a debate on whether or not the sauce should be tomato-based. On one side, you got tomato heads who think the tomatoes are necessary. On the other side, you have purists, who believe the paprika should carry it, and carry the color specifically. You can tell which side made the sauce by the color and consistency before you even taste it.
