Brick & Mortar
Brick & Mortar produces wines from Oakville, the Napa Valley appellation renowned for refined Cabernet Sauvignon and elegant Chardonnay. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Sweetwater Springs Vineyard Blanc de Blancs, a Chardonnay-based sparkling wine; Fault Line Vineyard Chardonnay, a still wine from the same varietal; and West Block Syrah, showcasing the darker fruit and structure of Shiraz. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have rated these wines, with the Sweetwater Springs cuvée reaching 94 points and both the West Block Syrah and Fault Line Chardonnay earning 93 points. The winery's focus on single-vineyard designations and dual expression of Chardonnay—in both sparkling and still form—reflects a commitment to exploring how site and winemaking method shape the varietal's character across Oakville's terroir.
