2018 Pastoral Pinot Noir
Custom blended for Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine. The team at Pastoral collaborated with Brooks Winery on this custom blend of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The entire Pastoral staff – the sommeliers, cheesemongers, and everyone else all the way up to the owners – were able to offer feedback and ultimately decided on this wonderfully cheese friendly and exclusive blend. Pair dangerously, drink safely.
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
A weighty Pinot Noir with rich notes of dark cherry, raspberry bramble, pomegranate reduction and a warm cinnamon bark finish.
Sommelier
Massaman Curry with chicken, creamy coconut and hearty vegetables such as potatoes, carrots & mushrooms would be a fantastic pairing with this wine.
Chef
A delicious and hedonistic Pinot noir from a warmer vintage. On the nose this wine effues black cherry, pomegranate syrup and spice. Round and gracious, the wine has a pleasant entry, juicy mid-palate and structured finish. Perfect to be enjoyed on its own or with BBQ.
