Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
A wildly concentrated and expressive Pinot Noir with layer upon layer of red fruit and earthy/spice notes. The perfect fireside winter sipper.

Pair this with pork tenderloin over braised kale topped with a dark cherry molasses glaze.

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

Heavy frost in April delayed flowering and pushed back the season. Cool temperatures in May and June further delayed the vintage. The fear was that the grapes wouldn't ripen in time for harvest if the rain and cold weather came in early October as usual.
Luckily July and August saw hot temperatures that helped accelerate ripening, and temperatures remained warm, and the rains held off until mid-October, allowing for an extended ripening period.
We let our grapes hang out until the last possible minute, just before the rain and cold weather hit. The 2022 harvest was fast and furious, to say the least! The resultant wines are stunningly balanced and expressive. A truly classic Oregon vintage!
