About Brick Barn Wine Estate
Brick Barn is named after the big 36-stall brick barn created by an Italian stonemason back in the 70’s for an Arabian horse farm. Odd start for a winery, yes? Well, for 50 years the Williams family has been watching over and cultivating its surroundings, although it wasn’t until 2012 that 35 acres of grapes were planted. All this time, though, Norman had seen the promise in this prime Santa Ynez Valley real estate, and it was finally time to show what Brick Barn’s distinct location could do. And what it did was produce some premium wines.

TASTING NOTES:
“The 2017 Pinot Noir reflects the famed qualities of Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir while expressing the distinctive terroir of the Brick Barn Wine Estate vineyard. The 2017 Pinot Noir bursts from the glass with bright aromas of red cherry, raspberry, berry compote and sage. The palate is rounded and elegant, with nuanced red fruit and wild berry flavors that glide along a supple texture. Notes of black tea and tobacco join lively acidity on a silky, mouthwatering finish.” (AbV 14.1%, pH 3.46, TA 0.61 g/100mL)

BARRELS:
