Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
A georgeously balanced Pinot Noir with so many red fruit notes exploding from the glass. Beautifully balanced with generous tannins, this wine is ready for fireside sipping.
Sommelier
A well-balanced and delicious Pinot Noir that would pair perfectly with a homemade potato gnocchi, pomegranate seeds and morel mushrooms.

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!
