2014 Brick House Cuvée de Tonnelier Ribbon Ridge Oregon Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., $48. The name of the wine roughly translates to “barrel maker’s cuvée.” The wine is blended from the oldest vines on the farm, a 10-acre block of Pommard clone just south of the brick house planted in 1990. Natural yeast fermented. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Clean and fresh aromas of black raspberry and blackberry build in the glass over time. Light to mid weight in character in a beautifully elegant and masterfully crafted wine offering flavors of black cherry and black raspberry. Everything is in sync with an impressive attack and glorious finish. Submerged tannins make for easy approachability. Score: 94. Reviewed October 22, 2017
