Editorial profile
Brick Barn Wine Estate sits on a 35-acre planted portion of a historic ~1,100-acre ranch in Buellton, in the Santa Ynez Valley, first assembled by Norman and Kathleen Williams starting in 1968 as an Arabian horse farm — the estate's namesake brick barn was built by an Italian stonemason for that earlier use.
Winemaker Adrian Bolshoi farms sandy loam alluvial soils ten miles from the Pacific, and the portfolio leans Rhône and Burgundy: Syrah (co-fermented with Viognier in Côte-Rôtie style), Grenache, a Rhône blend, Pinot Noir off four estate clones, and aromatic whites — Viognier, Albariño, Vermentino — plus an estate Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine. A top Syrah selection is bottled separately under the Fatalist tier.
