2025 Pinot Blanc

92 Points | Owen Bargreen- Predominantly coming from Crannell Vineyard, the power behind this wine starts in the vineyard.

This vintage fruit set was like no other; the clusters were packed with flavor. Plush melon, yellow pear, starburst banana, and an orange citrus finish. A superbly generous wine. Ready to drink now. Your palate will thank you. 

The 2025 Brooks Pinot Blanc comes off fat and round on the mouth, wth juicy melon tones. Medium-weighted, with good underling finesse, and a smooth texture, enjoy now and over the next few years.

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

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
"Year after year we love this wine and with the first smell of it you are reminded why. Bright tropical fruit and florals fill your senses with pineapple, kiwi and star fruit along with hibiscus and gardenia. Once on the palate the wine expresses itself with even more gorgeous fruit and flowers along with slight lemon, thyme, and sweet marjoram. A unique white wine for its textured palate it is generous from start to finish and a perfect wine with light grilled meats and seafood."

"Quickly becoming one of our most complimented wines, and there's little surprise why. Predominantly coming from Crannell Vineyard, the power behind this wine starts in the vineyard. This vintage fruit set was like no other, the clusters were packed and full of flavor. Plush melon, yellow pear, starburst banana, and an orange citrus finish. A superbly generous wine. Ready to drink now and supplies are going fast. Don't hesitate."

"This wine opens with lifted aromatics of acacia and chamomile layered over lemon, pear, yellow apple, nectarine, banana, and mango, with hints of fresh grass and wet wool. The palate adds a subtle richness, weaving in notes of cream and pastry alongside in the vibrant fruit and floral tones. High acidity keeps the medium-bodied texture bright and balanced through a smooth, 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 arriving 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 excellent quality, with high color intensity and concentrated flavors, resulting from smaller berries and somewhat lighter yields.
