deeply colored, strong core of dark fruits, plenty of tea and mushroom notes, integrated oak spice. on the palate high acidity, broad mid palate, very fine and completely integrated tannins. balanced wine with great length, intensity, very good complexity. just a bit past its peak IMO but man do his wines stand the test of time... impressive

Easily our favorite Oregon Pinot as far as aging - this just keeps getting better. Lots of dark fruit, and honestly, kind of a "magical" finish that is truly awesome. Doug and Brick House truly make stuff you can hide in your cellar - and it will just keep getting better.

Stood for a couple of weeks and decanted gently for sediment right before service. Pristine cork. Black fruits, baking spice and dried flowers on the nose. Sweet black plum fruit with spice cake and nice acidity. Not showing a lot of age, just the sweet roundness of the Pinot fruit gives it away. Not spectacular but much better than a couple of bottles of '98 Les Dijonnais from the same source.

Wow -- lovely. Awesome, and seemingly only getting better and better. Wish we had more, but alas.....Key takeaway -- age those young Brick Houses.....
