Brick House 2005 Les Dijonnais Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
-
$45
Les Dijonnais distinguishes itself by being a bit tighter, with more pungent herbaceousness, more precision, more verticality. It has extra concentration and power, but remains consistent to the house style. Those who follow biodynamic wines will enjoy the typical notes of herb, leaf and silage.

$40
One of the real success stories of the vintage, this is a big, fruity, ripe and intensely perfumed wine that carries its plump, posh fruit flavors smoothly across the full palate. Young but seamlessly integrated, it has a juicy, substantial mouthfeel and good grip.

Brick House 2005 Select Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
-
$35
Round and loose-knit, this opens with warm, accessible flavors that include wet earth, leaf and herb. It lasts into a finish that keeps moving, adding nuances of sun- dried tomato, pie cherry and rhubarb. All in all it’s an interesting, flavorful, well-made and well-rounded Pinot.
