Brick House Pinot Noir Dijonnais 2017

92+ pts Wine Advocate

The 2017 Pinot Noir Les Dijonnais comes from five different Dijon clones. It was made with 30% whole clusters and 16 months in about 35% new French oak. It has a pale ruby-purple color with aromas of warm raspberries, black cherries, cinnamon, dried earth and roses with amaro nuances. The light to medium-bodied palate is grainy and fresh with a long, spicy finish. This is drinking well right out of the bottle. 702 cases produced.

In this vintage this release feels lighter than usual, with strawberry and raspberry fruit and a touch of toast and spice. It's a lovely, elegant wine, but does not show the sustained power generally found in many vintages of Brick House Pinots. Drink now through 2025.
