We introduced the Fatalist last year as a cult-quality Cabernet Franc starting with the 2017 vintage. Now comes this next release, representing a special selection of the finest two barrels (600 bottles total) from the 2018 vintage.
The 2018 Fatalist Cabernet Franc comes from a small 2.6-acre estate block planted to Clone 332. It was aged for three years in premium brand-new Russian oak barrels for optimal maturity and integration. To make the most of the experience, Fatalist is hand bottled and wax dipped in special-order bottles with hand engraving.
The 2020 Fatalist Chardonnay is a wine of extraordinary fullness and finesse. Ample aromas of tropical fruit and pear are accompanied by trailing hints of citrus, jasmine and brioche. The palate is soft and luxuriant yet abundantly embroidered with flavors of pineapple, melon, peach, apricot and lime zest. A sense of creaminess emerges mid palate, while a lush and elegant finish lingers with subtle notes of spice and oak. A tour de force Chardonnay.
Introducing Fatalist Pinot Noir—an ultra-limited Pinot Noir crafted as the finest expression of our estate terroir.
Pinot Noir has been a signature variety at the Brick Barn estate since day one, and now comes the inaugural vintage from our ultra-premium Fatalist line, representing a special selection of the finest two barrels from the 2018 vintage.
The 2018 Fatalist Pinot Noir makes a striking impression with lively aromas of cherry, rhubarb, cedar, cinnamon and oak spice. The palate is plump and juicy yet remarkably poised, boasting rounded flavors of strawberry, plum and black cherry with suggestions of blue fruits, vanilla and baking spice. An undercurrent of cool minerality adds length and allure to a soft, polished finish.
