2012 Brooks Estate Eola-Amity Hills 1974 Jory 590-720’ Southeast facing Riesling Biodynamic None Cryoextraction Stainless 50-70 degrees Cross Flow 10/26/2012 5/22/2013 July 2013 9.5% 3.01 9.7 g/L 138 g/L 250 cases $25
Baked apple, apricot, citrus blossom, white roses, honeysuckle, cold cream, and gingerbread on the nose. Such a beautiful bouquet of flowers! While trying to write descriptors for the nose, I have to fight the urge to take a sip, but I fail. There is baked quince, and creamsicle notes, but such a light as air freshness about the wine. I was expecting it to be much more thick and sweet, but it is beautiful and elegant. Honeysuckle and gardenias, like walking through a spring garden. Just barely off dry, with nectarine, ripe peach, apricot and finishing with the acidity of passionfruit and a perceived mineral and cut grass note and a spoonful of lavender honey. So pretty! This would be amazing with powdered sugar, maybe beignets, lemon or poppy seed pound cake, or grilled peaches and mascarpone.

Our approach to winemaking is simple. We seek natural balance in the vineyard and cellar, to show the true expression of terroir in our wines. We are passionate about organic and biodynamic farming; as we believe it not only creates better wines, but these important practices help keep our earth alive and ecosystem intact.
