  January 28, 2022 - Dried cherry on the nose. Light/medium body with very smooth tannins. Still some acidity remaining, but a lot of the tasting notes have blended together. Hints of earth/leather. Almond extract. Not very fruit forward but still has the sweetness without the juiciness.

  May 19, 2021 - Soulful. That’s how Mike Etzel described Brick House Pinot noir. And this has it in spades, with perfect balance, complexity, and a long finish. It was a cool year and Doug Tunnell doesn’t opt for high-alcohol wines in the first place, so it beautifully represents its site and the vintage. Sandalwood, mushroom notes, a savory finish. Great wine.

  May 11, 2017 - Light but very flavorful. This wine was spectacular with the lamb chops and asparagus(!), roasted red peppers, and quinoa we had for dinner - it couldn't have been a better match. Some red fruit and violet flavors, a nice finish of medium length, not very forward on the nose but it showed its true self when we began to drink it. Every time we replenished our glasses, the wine had changed and improved as it became ever more complex with spicy notes beginning to show along with some earthy notes to compliment the etherial fruit we first tasted. I have a feeling this wine will last for at least another 5 years, maybe more.
  
  In the past, I have normally been presented with Brick House wines being poured and tasted while still in their infancy. To taste a 7-year-old wine makes a world of difference, which is no surprise. Their wines are made for aging.
