Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
Beautifully bright and vibrant with notes of tropical and stone fruits, finishing with subtle notes of minerality and a hint of baking spices.
Sommelier
Warm apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream would pair nicely with this wine.
Chef
Preserved lemon, oyster shell, and tons of minerality.

Winemaking Notes
A wet, cool spring delayed flowering until late June, which set the stage for a later harvest than the previous three vintages.
Hot, dry conditions prevailed through the summer, yielding heat spikes in August. With a larger than normal fruit set, the grapes enjoyed long hang time leading up to harvest. Conditions cooled and brought in scattered rains with the harvest, which began at Brooks on the 28th of September and ran through November 1st, almost returning to normal average harvest dates in the Willamette Valley.
The wines from the vintage show fresh fruit flavors and lively acidity. In all, it will be remembered as a classic vintage in Oregon!
