Fantastic! This wine was perfect to me. The wonderful Ribbon Ridge fruit has matured into a very earthy, almost leathery nose. There’s dark berry fruits that I wouldn’t call bright but perfectly integrated into the overall mature nose. Silky smooth mouthfeel. More dark berry fruit on the palate. Just wonderful.

Disappointing. Normally we LOVE Brick House and I'm hoping we do so again (soon!) This bottle was not our favorite. Had an odd, grapefruity taste to it that was very off-putting. Hoping this improves; maybe we drank it too young? (Seemed similar to a Bugundy we drank too young that we didn't like - a few days later it opened and became VERY good. Hope that is the case here.)

has a nice bright zip to it at first pop & pour. 2hrs of air softened it into a first class wine. cherries and fresh nose (no funk)

90. Tart but with rounded high toned fruit. Beautifully balanced. Wish I'd waited a bit longer to allow the everything to develop...
