What our team says
This gorgeously rich and honeyed dessert-style Riesling is well balanced with crisp acidity.
“Fried” ice cream, drizzled with honey and a light dusting of powdered sugar, amazing!
honeysuckle, lanolin, and golden soaked pears
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
Vintage Notes
A warm winter yielded bud break three weeks earlier than normal and lead into bloom under exceptional weather conditions. A dry and hot summer was broken up by rain in late August, and favorably cooled down in September in time to result in one of the earliest harvests on record. The grapes at harvest were extraordinary in quantity and quality, offering ripeness, balance, and expressive flavor.
