Highlights
  • Varietal: Pinot Noir
  • Vineyard(s): Block House Vineyard
  • Vineyard Notes: The Pinot Noir for the 2018 Brut Rosé is sourced from Block House Vineyard, centered in the heart of Napa Valley. Hailing from the Yountville AVA, Block House Vineyard was originally planted in 1836 by George C. Yount after receiving the Rancho Caymus land grant from General Vallejo. The name Block House stems from George C. Yount's first Kentucky-style defense outpost in the frontier west of the Mississippi River. This vineyard is thought to be amongst the oldest in all of Napa Valley. The eastern portion of the Yountville AVA is comprised of multiple alluvial bands of both sedimentary soils and clays as well as riddled with volcanic outcrops. With its close proximity to the San Pablo Bay, Block House Vineyard is a relative cool growing region, often times blanketed with cold wet air until the early afternoon; this cool climate allows sufficient hang time for our Brut Rosé.
  • Farming: Organically Farmed
Winery Info
BRICK & MORTAR
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.
