2013 Brooks Estate Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills 1979 Jory 590-720 ft. Southeast Facing Pinot Gris Own rootstock Biodynamic None Pressed Immediately Stainless 50-70 degrees Cross Flow 10/6/2013 2/14/2014 March, 2014 12.3% 95 cases $20
Very aromatic nose of gardenias and white flowers, stone fruit and melon. A garden of fresh herbs with noticeable wild mint and basil and hints of sumac, chervil and thyme. In the mouth the wine has volumes of citrus fruit, peach, nectarine, orange and lemon. Medium bodied, with moderate acidity, the mouth feel is rich and lush, finishing with melon and herbal notes. I could see this with deviled eggs and smoked paprika, a frisee salad with lardons and a poached egg, or any picnic fare.

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.
