Bruliam Wines

Bruliam Winery Great Wines for a Great Cause Bruliam Wines is a boutique producer of single vineyard wines. Named for our three children, Bruno, Lily and Amelia, we established the winery in 2008 to create world-class wine and donate our profits to charity. Since then we've garnered both commercial and critical success. Starting with only 25 cases of wine in 2008, we've now grow to 1000 cases. Our premium fruit is sourced from California's top vineyards and today includes our home ranch Torrey Hill, a pinotnoir vineyard in the Russian River valley. Along the way, we've fulfilled our charitable mission by donating to over 70 unique, charitable organizations selected by members of our "Bruliam Brigage" mailing list and our restaurant partners. Since our inception, Kerith Overstreet has crafted each of our wines. She's a triple threat as mom to three young children, medical doctor, and accomplished female winemaker. Leaving her medical career behind to pursue her passion for winemaking. Kerith completed her enology courses at UC Davis.

Bruliam 'Bu' Zinfandel, Rockpile 2012   A "zin for pinot lovers," the 2012 exhibits a balanced anddelicate nose while still remaining true to its Rockpile pedigree. Brambles and dried dark fruits are the most forward elements on the nose, with warm spices like clove and Asian 5-spice vibrating in perfect harmony. But it's the smooth, full mouth-feel that makes this a truly special zinfandel bottling. Kerith's deft touch and decision to barrel the 2012 in 100% French oak elevates our 2012 Rockpile to a whole new level of deliciousness. Drink now through 2024. "It is a wonderfully balanced, medium-bodied wine. Full of ripe plum, black currant and spice, it has a long finish with a nice amount of acid and mineral finish. It's perfect for drinking now or keeping for 10 years, so I can enjoy it now with family and friends or keep it for a special occasion." Costas Gotham Wines
