Country: US / Big Cheese
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Brooks / Eola-Amity Hills
As with the other single-vineyard wines from Brooks, this was give 18 months in French oak, and shows strong accents of baking spices and plum cake. The fruit leans toward raisins and figs—just on the edge of overripe—and continues into a finish with vanilla wafer and macaroons. There’s a lot going on, but it has not (yet) knit together.
