The first NV (Non-Vintage) Brick House Red was introduced last year in response to the 2020 smoke taint issues that affected some Oregon vineyards. In this second release, the winery has blended fruit from both 2020 and 2021 to make a better wine than 2020 alone. All the grapes were sourced from the estate's biodynamic vineyard up on Ribbon Ridge. It's a stunning value, with a refined herbal streak, tight and brambly red fruits, a touch of peppery spice and the evanescent aromatics that come from wild yeasts. Were this a vintage wine from Brick House it would command a significant price premium. This NV bottling is not only drinking beautifully right out of the gate, it offers a chance to enjoy a stellar Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir at a bargain price.
567 cases; 12.5%; $29
