I have placed a number of orders for wine with B‑21. Could not be happier with the process. Selection is very nice and comprehensive. I have called their support line re delivery of a pre‑order and was very pleased with their level of support in delivering wine around a time period when traveling and\or not available to take receipt. Overall, I extremely pleased.

Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2019 Brittan Vineyards Pinot Noir Cygnus Block (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Willamette, Oregon

B-21 Top Recommendation

From an under the radar Oregon Pinot Noir producer called one of the region’s “leading names to know” by Decanter, these top scoring Brittan Vineyards selections encompass a full range of terroir expressive Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs from outstanding vintages, described as “mineral-driven and more detailed than many of their Oregon peers” by Neal Martin of Vinous and offered at best on the market pricing that's perfect for mixing a case.

An industry veteran boasting an impressive decades’ long resume as winemaker for top Napa estates including Far Niente, Robert Brittan resigned after 16 years as winemaker and estate manager at Stags’ Leap Winery to follow his longtime passion for cool climate Pinot Noir, purchasing a 128-acre property in the foothills of the northern Willamette Valley’s Coast Range in 2004. Situated on a steep hillside in the McMinnville AVA, Brittan's 30 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards are planted in a unique mix of mostly broken basalt with glacial deposits and volcanic material, many of the parcels exposed to the brisk oceanic winds funneling through the Van Duzer Corridor that produce thicker skins and naturally lower yields. Employing a low intervention winemaking approach that Neal Martin of Vinous calls “inspired but not obsessed with Burgundy,” Brittan utilizes a mix of old and new barrels with new oak typically under 25%, favoring the wood’s influence on texture rather than flavor. Crafted from various parcels across his Estate vineyard, the 96 pt. 2019 Estate Pinot offers a “core of red fruit swept along by racy acidity” according to the Wine Advocate’s Erin Brooks and the 92 pt. 2021 Estate Pinot boasts “serious structure” and a “streak of stony minerality” according to Decanter’s Clive Pursehouse, both set to evolve for another decade or more. Sourced from a three-acre, east facing parcel planted in 2008 to a single, low-yielding clone, the Cygnus block’s unique orientation mitigates the Van Duzer winds, creating fresh, balanced Pinot Noir with abundant red fruit and a long savory finish, both the 2018 and 2019 vintages earning 97 pts. from the Wine Advocate’s Erin Brooks. At the heart of the hillside vineyard, the Basalt Block is a seven-acre south-facing bowl with the greatest concentration of ancient, fractured basalts, adding a savory minerality and notable acidity to the 94 pt. 2018 and 98 pt. 2019 Basalt Block releases. From a two-acre parcel on the lower southwest hill, the Gestalt Block boasts shallow topsoil over a dense layer of basalt that results in very low yields, the skins of the grapes thickened by the intense Van Duzer winds yielding rich, concentrated flavors with chewy tannins in the 98 pt. 2018 and 98 pt. 2019 Cygnus Block.

Boasting intense minerality and mouthwatering acidity “sure to send bolts of rapture through lovers of great Burgundy” according to the Wine Advocate’s Jay Miller, these small production gems from Brittan Vineyards offer fans of classically styled Oregon Pinot Noir an opportunity to explore their full range of outstandingvineyard expressive wines at unbeatable prices, ready to enjoy now and built to savor over the next decade.

97WA

The 2019 Pinot Noir Cygnus Block offers tremendous aromatic definition and layering: bursts of lavender, bergamot and botanicals give way to a core of mixed berry preserves, and each return to the glass brings a new alluring fragrance. Its generosity is echoed on the palate, which is packed with floral fruit. It has a support of grainy tannins and mouthwatering acidity and a fantastically detailed, energetic finish. It's a beautiful Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that embodies power and grace.
