Brick House – Due East 2018 Gamay Noir – Ribbon Ridge Willamette Valley

The nose is fruity, spicy and offers deepness, a racy minerality and a fine incisive side. It reveals notes of small black berries, wild strawberry and small notes of black pepper/Brazil pepper associated with fine touches of cherry and discreet hints almost earthy/sens of the place. The mouth is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a juicy/beautifully acidulous frame, freshness as well as a racy minerality, a good guideline and definition. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of black cherry, red berries and small notes of small crunchy wild berries associated with fine touches of lily, lilac as well as fine hints of Cuben pepper/white pepper, nutmeg and very discreet hints of sens of the place/dry tobacco leaf. Tannins are precise, fine and elegant. Good length.
