Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
"“Bright acidity and fine, lingering tannins frame this Pinot Noir, offering both energy and depth. OVP, as we call it, leans toward a lighter expression in both color and body, and this vintage strikes a beautiful balance between the elegance and pure fruit expression while remaining, above all, deeply enjoyable. On the palate, layers of plum, red cherry, and dark Oregon strawberry unfold, complemented by subtle herbal and floral tones. The finish lingers with notes of fennel seel and a hint of patchouli, adding intrigue and complexity and underscoring why this wine continues to be widely loved.”
General Manager/Sommelier
“Our old-vine, own-rooted estate Pommard Pinot Noir, aged in foudre with little intervention. O.V.P looks after itself in a stunning show of independence. Light-bodied and fresh, it offers floral notes, bright acidity, red apple skin, candied cherry, and raspberry. Perfect on its own or alongside simple fare.”
Production Associate
“This wine is bright and energetic, opening with aromas of cherry, plum, raspberry, red currant, and pomegranate that create an inviting mix of red and dark fruit. The palate leans into juice black cherry and pomegranate flavors, giving the wine a fresh, vibrant character. High acidity and medium tannins provide structure and lift, balancing the medium-bodied profile with a lively finish.”

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 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.
