February 10, 2023 - Impulse purchase @ Costco (Sta.Rita Hills AVA)
13.8% abv - $15 ($26 less $11 off)
Served (2-hr decant) with Baked Salmon Filet, Basmati Rice, Vegetables, and Caprese Salad.
Somewhat lighter-colored Red on the pour, but fuller-bodied than I might have thought. Smooth and full-flavored; predominately cherry with raspberry, plum with spices and just a hint of cola. Moderate, but ample, tannin and acidity. Spouse Loved - A Hit! Have already purchased more to cellar.
Gave remaining 1/3 bottle to my oenophile neighbor (see, it's not just a one-way street, I do give him some wines to try) who enjoyed during the Super bowl, saying: "The Brick Barn is smooth; Hits the spot tonight."105 views
