Highlights

Varietal percentages: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir
Vineyard(s): Home Block Vineyard
Vineyard Notes: The fruit for the Vin Clair is sourced from Home Block Vineyard, which is organically farmed and centered in the heart of Carneros in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Influenced by cooler daytime temperatures and gentle breezes, Home Block is one of the closest vineyards to the San Pablo Bay - the major water inlet near San Francisco that leads to the Pacific Ocean. Planted in the early-2000s, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at Home Block resides primarily on Haire clay loam soil.
Farming: Organic Practices

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.
