Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
This dry, single-clone Riesling has mouth-quenching and developed notes of Meyer lemon, Cara Cara rind, and golden apple with crisp acidity and weighty minerality.
Sommelier
Floral and citrus notes with a subtle tropical finish, this would pair beautifully with preserved lemon cheesecake with pineapple relish.

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!
