Brick & Mortar Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Matt and Alexis Iaconis founded Brick & Mortar in 2011 and co-run the winery. Their focus is deeply rooted in California, but driven by French traditions. They strive to allow the site to shine in every wine they produce. All lots of Pinot Noir undergo an extended cold soak until native yeast begin a spontaneous fermentation in open-top fermenters, where the grapes are punched down by hand once to twice per day. The small lot fermentations, without any whole cluster, take upwards of a month before a light pressing to barrel for their extended aging. The Pinot Noir remains in 100% used French oak barrels for 10 months prior to bottling.

100% Pinot Noir. 14.1% Alc.

Luscious brambly fruits and woodsy notes are distinctive in the 2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Highly aromatic and boisterous, red raspberries, violets and redwood forest notes frame the silky, lush palate. Bright blackberry and plum flavors combine with cherry blossom and fresh cedar, highlighted by juniper and bay laurel; unique markers for Pinot Noir from this region. The wine is a rich ruby color with purple core, and refreshing brightness.
