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

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
"The wine is a love letter to the Eola-Amity Hills with bright and juicy, pomegranate and red cherry fruit notes on the notes with great aromatic intensity. Slightly herbal notes along with fennel seen give the palate an approachable yet contemplative. Bright acid and soft tannins add structure but overwhelmingly this wine is simply yummy, food friendly and quaffable."

"Let's start with the color- ideal ruby that I wish for every Pinot Noir. The aromatics lead with crunchy red cherry, rose petal, and a touch of nutmeg. The palate follows with pomegranate, crisp red apple, and a flash of red Jolly Rancher, all backed by lively acidity and focused tannins. A subtle complexity that lingers into a lengthy finish. It hums long after it's good gone: Eola-Amity doing its quiet, confident thing."
Jakob Bailey
Production Associate
"This wine is beautifully aromatic, opening with lifted notes of rose and violet layered over a vibrant core of red apple, currant, and a mix of red and black cherries. The palate follows with juicy strawberry and plum alongside a touch of bramble, giving both brightness and depth. Soft tannins and medium-plus acidity create a balanced, food-friendly structure, while the medium-plus finish lingers with elegant floral and red fruit notes."

Winemaking Notes

The 2024 growing season began with an early bud break followed by warm and dry weather. Consistent sunshine throughout the summer allowed for optimal hang time.

There was a brief heatwave in July, but cool nights helped maintain acidity. Harvest commenced in early Octobers, allowing for a smooth picking process with no pressure to rush.

Overall, fruit quality was outstanding with balanced acidity and complex flavors. The 2024 vintage yielded vibrant wines with excellent concentration, making it a standout year for Oregon wine.
