Brick House
Boulder Block Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir
Ribbon Ridge, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Wow, the very last bottle in Higgins cellar. it was shy at first, quiet and understated. We thought for a second maybe the best years were in the past but we were rewarded with an example of the the beauty of Oregon Pinot Noir. As it opened up the layers of secondary notes took the forefront and the subtle gave way to a deeply complex wine, where the dance between vintage and winemaker had given way to vineyard and the knowledge to just let the wine be what it wanted to be. Cheers Doug best Brickhouse I have had maybe ever. Pure transparent terroir

From magnum. Lots of fruit and concentration. Really shows the vintage.

Joan Crawford in a bottle. Strong shoulders, sexy, lean and a lil' mean...a complex pinot.

Oct 23rd, 2012Last time I drank this was before I started using Delectable, so it was at least five years ago. Back then it was downright jammy, grape candy. It’s still yummy and decadent at 10, not nearly as jammy, almost mellow, almost dry, silky tannins, kinda tart finish...

Jun 8th, 2018This is what I expect from great Pinot in Oregon. Hints of dried blueberry, strawberry, clove on the nose. Bright cherry, cinnamon and clove on palate
