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

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
"If aromatic white wine had a picture in the dictionary, it would be this wine. A wine glass simply cannot contain all the expressions aroma that it expresses. Notes of peach, kumquat, and apricot along with pink rose petals, honeysuckle and jasmine jump out of the glass. The palate expresses itself with the same notes but adds complexity through acidity, structure and length through texture."

"This wine is intensely aromatic, opening with acacia, honeysuckle, and elderflower layered over yellow pear, grapefruit, lemon peel, white peach, apricot, mango, and cantaloupe. Subtle notes of bell pepper, fresh grass, and wet stone add a savory, mineral edge. High acidity and a medium-minus body keep the wine crisp and lively through a clean, refreshing medium finish."

Winemaking Notes

A warm, dry spring kicked off the 2025 growing season early and swiftly, with minimal rain or cool-down periods to slow early growth. A short bloom period occurred in early June and was followed later in the Summer by successive heat spikes in July and again in August around veraison.

Sunny days and warm nights continued into early September, setting the stage for a rapid onset of harvest. At Brooks, picking began on September 7th for Rosé, followed by the first red wine grapes arrive on September 10th.

The Riesling harvest began on September 26th and extended longer than usual, with the last grapes picked for Noble selection on October 8th. The vintage will be remembered and celebrated for its concentrated flavors, resulting from smaller berries and somewhat lighter yields.
