2021 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
A fresh, approachable, fruit-driven Pinot Noir with red fruit notes and hints of brown sugar and cinnamon.
This is a blend of our favorite barrels from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. 1,000 cases produced.
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
Juicy and red fruit-driven with notes of red currant, red apple skin, raspberry and black cherry jell-o.
Sommelier
Cherry pie, cherry pie, cherry pie!!! Flakey buttery crust, a sprinkle of sugar and topped with a dollop of vanilla toffee ice cream!
Chef
This is a blend of our favorite barrels from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. A crisp and approachable Pinot noir emanating cherry tart, orange oil and hints of fresh licorice. On the palate, the fruit profile turns to loganberry and pomegranate, showing off terrific tension, and a quenching, salty finish.

Winemaking Notes
Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heatwaves.
The timing worked in our favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.
Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.
No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors.
2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.
