Wine Flight
Block House Brut Rosé 2018
Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this Napa Valley wine has gorgeous aromatic precision and rich flavors of red fruits framed by freshness.The addition of 4% still Pinot Noir adds elegance to this traditional method sparkling wine that is made into a rosé. 48 months aging on the lees adds a depth and complexity with toasty brioche notes. On the nose, red cherry and almond blossom, strawberry, Chinese five spice, and chalky mineral tones. On the palate this wine is both powerful and subtle, spiced orange, cherry compote and ginger lead to fresh raspberry and salted watermelon. This is a distinctive sparkling rosé that is a pure expression of Pinot Noir grown on volcanic soil, and has the potential to develop with additional aging through 2036.
Cougar Rock Chardonnay 2019
The Cougar Rock Vineyard Chardonnay expresses precise Meyer lemon rind and crushed shells with notes of jasmine, lemon thyme and sandalwood. The palate is headlined with an electric acidity, coupled with savory spice and a chalky minerality. Well textured and structured, this Chardonnay fully expresses the granitic soils of the high mountainous ridge tops at Cougar Rock Vineyard. Beautiful in its youth, we expect this Chardonnay to age gracefully and improve over the next 10+ years
Cougar Rock Pinot Noir 2019
The Cougar Rock Vineyard Pinot Noir exudes aromas of ripe cherry, red apple, and hints of graphite and dried fennel. Cougar Rock is always our most smooth and silky Pinot and most delicate in color, which we attribute to the large amount of calcareous chalky rocks that are interspersed throughout the block. The mineral tones from the volcanic soil are apparent, intertwined with a dusty earthiness and rose petals; balanced by a fresh vibrant core and smooth elegant tannins. This wine shines in its youth and we expect it to continue to improve for the next 8-15 years.

About the Winery
Located in Healdsburg, CA Founded in 2011, brick & mortar focuses on single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, from select high-elevation vineyards. Like the great European wineries, they believe that the best wines express a unique time and place. So they let each of their distinct Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino Ridge vineyards speak for themselves, with minimal intervention. They pick early, ferment with native yeasts, and use oak and sulfur judiciously, resulting in low-alcohol wines of grace and finesse.
