About this product
Brick House's Cuvée du Tonnelier is Ribbon Ridge's most Burgundy-aligned Pinot Noir: from biodynamically farmed volcanic Jory and Nekia soils, made with whole-cluster inclusion and indigenous yeasts. Medium ruby with dark cherry, earth, spice, volcanic mineral, and a structural complexity that distinguishes Ribbon Ridge from the more approachable Dundee Hills Pinot. The wine has a Chambolle-like combination of elegance and mineral depth — rewarding 8-15 years of aging for full secondary character development.

Brick House Cuvée du Tonnelier's mineral structure and dark cherry depth achieves the Oregon classic — Pinot Noir with Pacific salmon. The wine's whole-cluster spice bridges the salmon's richness; hazelnut brown butter amplifies the Pinot's nutty mineral dimension; lentils provide earthy depth that supports the wine's volcanic mineral backbone. A Ribbon Ridge pairing of Oregon's most celebrated wine-fish tradition.

Brick House Cuvée du Tonnelier's whole-cluster spice and volcanic mineral character achieves a refined Pacific Northwest pairing with roasted quail — the game bird's delicate richness is elevated by the wine's spiced complexity; pomegranate's tartness bridges the Pinot's primary fruit; wild mushrooms amplify the wine's earthy volcanic mineral dimension. A pairing of complete Ribbon Ridge terroir authenticity.
