Only 35 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
This dessert-style Pinot Blanc has a rich and luxurious mouthfeel with layers of stone fruit, citrus and honeyed notes, incredible acidity and an outstandingly lengthy finish.
Sommelier
Perfect with strawberry Pavlova, light and crisp margarine, fresh Oregon strawberries, vanilla bean whipped cream, a few baby mint leaves, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Chef
Brioche, shaved almond, honeycomb and golden raisins. This dessert-style Pinot Blanc is vibrantly rich with terrific acid-sugar tension.

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.
