Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
"Fresh, playful, and full of personality with aromas of black and red cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, and wild brambleberries. Subtle notes of vanilla mingle with savory baking spices of cinnamon and clove, adding warmth and intrigue. Juicy red and dark fruit lead the palate, balanced by vibrant acidity and classic Pinot Noir structure. Approachable and effortlessly charming, yet layered with elegance and complexity and impossible not to love."

"What are you looking for? A wine that delivers in fruit, body, structure? Complexity? Sustainability? We got you. Punchy black cherry, soft vanilla, bright red plum, wrapped in firm focused structure. A wine for all. Grapes coming from only dry- farmed vineyards. Historic as it is approachable. For when you need a friend- we were there."
Production Associate
"This wine opens with vibrant aromas of black cherry, red plum, red currant, and bramble, complemented by notes of blueberry, blackberry, earthy undertones, and wet stone. The palate echoes the dark and red berry fruits, offering a balanced interplay of juicy fruit, medium-plus acidity, and soft, approachable tannins. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and a medium-length finish, this wine is both fresh and inviting."

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.
This 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.
