The 2019 Bricoleur Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is an elegant, expressive wine that encapsulates the terroir of Sonoma County’s celebrated Pinot Noir country.

Aged sur lie for 14 months in 40% new and 60% neutral French oak, it offers both youthful vibrancy and structural depth. This vintage captures the long, balanced 2019 growing season with richness, complexity, and grace.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
A shimmering ruby hue with light garnet edges.

Nose:
Aromatics are layered and inviting—redcurrants, wild strawberries, and pomegranate intermingle with forest floor, cloves, dried rose petals, and subtle incense. Notes of fresh mushrooms and olive tapenade underscore the varietal authenticity.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with fleshy, polished tannins. The wine opens with tart red cherries and evolves into rich layers of anise, earthy spice, and black tea. There’s a savory quality—mushrooms, dried herbs, and a hint of game—that contrasts beautifully with the fruit brightness. The oak is seamlessly integrated, enhancing depth without overpowering the fruit.

Finish:
Silky and persistent, the finish resonates with exotic spices, dried cranberry, and a touch of minerality, leaving a clean, spicy trail.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is estate-grown Russian River Valley Pinot Noir from the 2019 vintage, built from five distinct clones (115, 777, 459, Swan, and Calera) and aged sur lie for 14 months in 40% new and 60% neutral French oak. In the glass it shows a shimmering ruby hue and a layered nose of redcurrant, wild strawberry, and pomegranate laced with forest floor, clove, dried rose, and a whiff of incense. The palate pairs tart red cherry with anise, black tea, mushroom, and dried herbs on fleshy, polished tannins, while the oak stays seamlessly in the background. It suits the Pinot drinker who wants savory complexity alongside bright fruit, and anyone curious about how clonal blending shapes a wine. We carry it because it speaks clearly of its place and vintage, drinks beautifully now with a short decant, and has the structure to keep evolving in the cellar for seven to ten years. It is equally at home at an intimate dinner or as a quiet solo pour.

Pairs well with

Herb-crusted duck with cherry reduction — The cherry sauce echoes the wine's tart red cherry, while the herb crust picks up its dried-herb and gamey savory notes.
Roasted wild mushroom risotto — Earthy mushrooms mirror the forest floor and fresh mushroom character that runs through both the nose and palate.
An intimate celebratory dinner — Its layered aromatics of rose petal, incense, and red berries reward slow sipping and conversation over a special meal.

Questions about this bottle

What does the 2019 Bricoleur Pinot Noir taste like?

Expect tart red cherry up front, evolving into anise, earthy spice, and black tea, with a savory streak of mushroom, dried herbs, and a hint of game. It is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins, and the finish is silky and persistent with exotic spice, dried cranberry, and a touch of minerality.

How was this wine made?

The fruit comes entirely from Bricoleur Vineyards' estate in the Russian River Valley and blends five Pinot Noir clones: 115, 777, 459, Swan, and Calera. The wine was aged sur lie for 14 months in French oak, 40% new and 60% neutral, giving it both youthful vibrancy and structural depth.

Should I decant it, or can I cellar it?

Both work. If you are opening it now, decant for 20 to 30 minutes to let the layered aromatics open up. If you prefer to wait, it can be cellared for up to 7 to 10 years for further evolution.

Is this a good bottle to give as a gift?

Yes. It is a standard 750 ml bottle of estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir from a specific vintage, suited to celebratory meals and intimate dinners. Its cellaring potential of 7 to 10 years also makes it a thoughtful pick for someone who enjoys watching a wine develop.
