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

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
"Kiwi, lemon, lime, and lemon pith lead the nose, followed by kumquat, apple blossom, cherry blossom, a hint of pineapple, and dried honeycomb. The palate is bright and citrus-driven, with vibrant acidity and a lingering finish that carries a pleasant touch of citrus peel. This wine is still finding its voice, but it's already showing beautiful energy and freshness. I can't wait to see where it goes over the next several years. Without a doubt it will just get better and better. "

General Manager/Sommelier
"Soft florals, lemon juice, candied melon, and is that a touch of fresh grass on the finish? Possibly. Planted in 1996, Lone Star Vineyard has made a name for world class Riesling. A bold wine, aged on fine lees in a large neutral foudre. Astronomically speaking vacuum decay can occur at any moment. While we're here, you're doing a disservice to not try this historic wine."
Jakob Bailey
Production Associate
"Delicately aromatic, this wine offers inviting notes of chamomile, elderflower, fresh lime, lemon zest, and ripe melon. The palate is beautifully balanced, combining vibrant citrus and soft melon with a subtle saline minerality that adds depth and freshness. Medium-bodied with bright, medium-plus acidity, it finishes clean and refreshing with a graceful floral lift."

Winemaking Notes

The 2024 growing season began with an early bud break followed by warm and dry weather. Consistent 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 October, 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.
