2019 Crannell Pinot Noir
This wine is no longer available, but the 2021 Crannell Pinot Noir is.
A brilliant Pinot Noir with complex layers of red fruits, cherry cola, and a long finish with cinnamon bark and iron notes.
Comprised of Pinot Noir grapes from Crannell vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills, right below Brooks Estate vineyard. The vines were planted in 1984 in volcanic basalt-jory and nekia soil.
This Pinot Noir is made of 4 clones: Pommard, 115, 777, and 667.
Only 300 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
The Crannell always shines, and this vintage is no exception. Rich, layered notes of black cherry, red licorice, pomegranate reduction, and cherry cola give way to a warm and savory charcuterie and cinnamon bark finish.
Sommelier
Pair this stunning Pinot Noir with duck confit in a cherry sauce with potato fondant.
Chef
The 2019 Crannell vineyard Pinot noir, located immediately to the East of our estate, is both elegant and refined, showing off intense notes of dark cherry, red vines licorice and salted caramel. On the palate the wine has a plush entry, plump mid-palate and finishes with crunchy tannins, saucisson and bright red-fruited acidity.

Winemaking Notes
A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions.
The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
