2024 Noble Select Riesling
96 Points | Jeb Dunnuck- Hyland is a historic vineyard in the McMinnville AVA and its easy to see why its fruit is highly sought after. Meticulously sorted in the vineyard and once more on the sorting line in order to hand select bunches with optimal noble rot.
The Noble Select arrives with a brand new label. The design is a play on the alchemic symbol for gold, because that’s exatly what this wine feels like, drops of liquid gold in a glass. Many of Jimi’s original label designs were playful, knowing riffs on alchemic symbols, so this one carries a little of his spirit and sense of style as well.
Notes of sweet nectarines, ginger, apricot, and yellow Himalayan raspberries. A high acid wine with a lingering sweetness carrying the prolonged finish.

Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
"This wine opens with complex aromatics of chamomile, honey, quince, and lemon peel, accented by fennel and a distinctive vinyl note. The palate is rich and layered, showing candied banana, mango, guava, quince, golden raisin and candied lemon peel wrapped in honeyed depth. High acidity balances the full-bodied texture, carrying the wine through a long expressive finish. "
