93-94 Point Brick & Mortar from $14.95

2023 Brick & Mortar Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (Elsewhere $30) ($14.95)

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "A softer, more aromatic energy surrounds this Pinot. Whispers of flowers, fresh cut herbs and cranberries swirl on the nose, while the palate brings flavors of dried cherry, anise, and some nice crunchy tannin to balance the dancing acidity."

The 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir actually comes from a single vineyard in Carneros, right on the edge of San Pablo Bay. The fruit is sourced from 25+ year-old vines farmed under certified organic standards. Elegant and silky, the wine is packed with juicy, ripe fruit, offering notes of red berries, alpine strawberry, nutmeg, and dried rose petal. This is simply crazy delicious at such a modest price point. There are hundreds of $50+ Pinot Noirs out there that can't come close to the quality in this bottle.

2024 Brick & Mortar Anderson Valley Pinot Noir (Elsewhere $25) ($19.95)

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A depth of brambly black and blue fruit dazzles on the well-structured palate of the 2024 Pinot Noir, layered in light bolts of baking spice, forest, and black tea. Balanced acidity keeps it fresh and lively and inviting in its youth. Drink now through 2032. (VB)" (02/2026)

94 points James Suckling: "A nicely concentrated, medium-bodied wine with aromas of black fruit, bay laurel, roses, sage, earth, umami and wild blackberries. Rich flavors, yet incredibly fresh and lifted. Drink or hold." (09/2025)

Another rocking value, the 2024 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir from Brick & Mortar showcases the dark, brambly fruit character I always associate with this region. A little deeper and more brooding than the Sonoma Coast bottling, it leans toward blackberry, dark cherry, dried herbs, and forest floor. Polished tannins and a subtle touch of oak spice lift the wine and linger through the finish.It is still a baby, but already drinking beautifully, needing only a few swirls in the glass to awaken the aromas. Incredible QPR.

2024 Brick & Mortar Anderson Valley Chardonnay (Elsewhere $30) ($19.95)

94 points James Suckling: "A linear and focused, medium-bodied wine with lovely aromas of basil, mint, honeysuckle, citrus blossoms and chalk. A minerally core is surrounded by sumptuous flavors of pears, lemons and limes and tense energy. A delicate white floral note in the finish. Drink or hold." (10/2025)

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Fresh, structured, and plush on the palate, the 2024 Chardonnay is sourced from Ferrington Vineyard, a fresh and very giving wine. A small percentage is barrel-fermented in new oak, which adds impressive length and texture to the crunch of pear and toasty spice. (VB)" (02/2026)

K&L Notes: Sourced entirely from the famed Ferrington Vineyard in Anderson Valley.

Showing that they are every bit as skilled with Chardonnay as they are with Pinot Noir, Matt and Alexis bottle this wine simply as Anderson Valley, even though it comes entirely from a single renowned vineyard: Ferrington. You may recognize the Ferrington name from iconic producers such as Williams Selyem, which have long sourced fruit from this mature Anderson Valley site.The wine offers beautifully crystalline golden orchard fruit, ripe citrus, spiced apple pie, salted almond, and stone-ground flour. The balance between fruit and minerality is spot-on, with generous ripeness matched by wonderful tension and verve. This is a seriously sophisticated Chardonnay at a remarkably reasonable price. Awesome stuff!

This orchard fruited little beauty is quite the bargain. It has a really beautiful combo of white pear pulp and key lime fruit all wrapped up in a mouthfeel that starts out with moderate richness and quickly cleans up and leaves a nice lingering bit of acidity on the palate during the finish. The oak is clean and fresh and never takes away or overwhelms the delicious fruit and citrus aspects of this release.
