The Brick House "Select" bottling represents all of the estate's various clones and blocks from the first picks. It takes a tight rein to ride a headstrong young horse that loves to run. So it was with guiding Brick House Pinot Noir fermentations in 2021. All the sunshine and the warmth of the vintage packed every grape with more than enough of what it takes to make great wine. Thus, an exercise in restraint: picking early to preserve acidity, gentle pump overs instead of rigorous punch downs and then a careful selection of barrels to achieve a "Select" bottling of near perfect balance. Dark, brooding color, strawberry and crushed cranberry notes all with alcohol under 12.5%. We're sure you'll enjoy the ride!
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "The 2022 Pinot Noir Select is wonderfully perfumed with spice-tinged red berries, cloves and dusty flowers. This is juicy and energetic on the palate, with raspberry and cherry depths slowly saturating the senses. This finishes long and sapid with fine tannins framing exotic spices and inner florals, all enlivened by a bump of residual acidity."
