As a winemaker, I am a minimalist in every sense of the word, especially when it comes to Pinot Noir,” said Derek. Derek founded Bravium―a Latin word meaning “gift” or “prize”―in 2007. His widely acclaimed small-lot Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are characterized by excellent structure and aging potential, along with invigorating acidity, which allows for seamless pairing with a variety of foods. Of all the influences that have shaped Derek’s path, his family’s Cherokee heritage has been the steady drumbeat that led him to the right places at the right times. His parents gifted him the name “Winter Hawk” as a child. To this day, the sight of a hawk feather in his vineyard reminds Derek that he is fulfilling his destiny. That rich heritage gently guides his hand in the cellar. For Derek, terroir is a gift.

Quattro Theory Wine would like to bring back to the original "Napa wine style" where you can't tell if it's French or American when you open the bottle. This is the original Napa style. It changed in the 90s and has continued to this day. Quattro Theory wines capture the true expression of Napa Valley and combine four distinctive elements: winemaker Landon Donley's purposeful vision, high-quality vineyards, precision winemaking, and experiences with food and friends. Made with care to be enjoyed casually.

Outlier is a different wine design from Bravium. Our vineyard-to-glass approach is environmentally conscious. We work in harmony with nature by incorporating regenerative dry farming methods, natural pest management, and minimizing interference during fermentation. We also use sustainable packaging to reflect the beautiful vineyards from which our wines come. From the wines at Outlier, you can feel Derek's new frontiers in winemaking.
