2024 Brooks Willamette Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity HIlls AVA, Oregon

Brooks Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a bright, fruit-forward red wine shaped by a deeply rooted family legacy and an exceptional female leadership team. Sourced from premium, sustainably farmed vineyards across Oregon’s Willamette Valley, this elegant vintage opens with fragrant aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle rose petals. On the palate, it delivers a soft, juicy mouthfeel defined by flavors of tart red currant, cherry cola, and warm cinnamon spice, balanced by a lively pomegranate acidity and an earthy, saline finish. Classic summer Pinot - YES PLEASE!

 While the winery’s profound history honors its late founder Jimi Brooks, it operates today as a famously female-led powerhouse. Jimi's sister, Managing Director Janie Brooks Heuck, steers the business and growth, while Head Winemaker Claire Jarreau - who was promoted to lead the cellar after a decade of dedicated craftsmanship at the estate - meticulously crafts the wine. Together, their leadership preserves the winery's iconic B-Corp and certified biodynamic standards, rendering a beautifully complex Pinot Noir that speaks directly to the terroir of the region.

The signature symbol featured on the Brooks Wine label is an Ouroboros, an ancient mythical dragon or serpent forming a circle to consume its own tail. It serves as a profound homage to the winery's history, representing cosmic harmony, eternity, and the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. - We always share more interesting details with our wine club memebrs!
