2022 Brick House Vineyards 'Les Dijonnais' Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge Oregon USA

Winemaker Notes
The Les Dijonnais Pinot Noir represents the best barrels from this warm site. In contrast with the Pommard clone bottlings, the Les Dijonnais Pinot Noir offers a more floral interpretation of the grape, often displaying hints of rose petal and meadow flowers.

Press
The grapes come from the Dijon clone block within the estate vineyard, just at the northern boundary of the Douglas firs on a southern slope. Once harvested the grapes were sorted, and approximately 30% of the fruit was left on its stems. Like all Brick House wines, only native yeasts were utilized for the fermentation following a five-day cold soak. While active fermentation proceeded for approximately 12 days, the new wine was left to macerate with skins and stems for a total of one month in tank. It was then racked to barrel, approximately 35% new French wood where it remained for over 16 months.
