Tasting Notes:
"White roses, butter cream cake frosting, orange peel, cold cream, apple, and nectarine. Caraway, cumin and exotic spices sprinkled over white peaches. Very inviting. Medium weight, exotic ripe fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Citrus, green apple, clementine oranges, chervil and fresh cut greens. Finishes with a rush of fresh fruit, herbs and and basil, like a perfect breath mint. Clearly this is one for the exotic food, definitely Indian, chicken tandoori or any curry dish. A perfect blend of rich fruit, weight and texture, brought to life by vibrant acidity." - Winemakers Tasting Notes

About Brooks Riesling "This wine is not your typical Riesling...it's on a mission to restore the reputation of US Riesling and to showcase the quality of wine that can be made from old vines in the Willamette Valley. Riesling reveals its vineyard origins more than any other white grape varietal; this wine translates its terroir into the glass with finesse and elegance."

About Brooks FOUNDED in 1998, Brooks is a reflection of the visionary Portland native, Jimi Brooks. His reverence for the land and vines made him a practitioner of organic and biodynamic farming. The great respect for vineyard individuality and mastery of blending, allowed his wines to achieve the greatest depth, flavors and balance.

While Jimi is no longer with us, his dynamic spirit lives on through his wines, family and friends. With the outpouring of generosity and friendship by the Oregon wine community, we are delighted to share that Brooks Wines continues and is stronger than ever. Jimi's son Pascal who was the ultimate source of his passion for life, is the sole owner of the winery and sister Janie Brooks Heuck has remarkably volunteered her time to lead it.
