2019 Terue Tempranillo
Peppery, dark fruited and full bodied with deep concentration and a balanced mouth feel.
Comprised of Tempranillo grapes from the Deux Vert vineyard located in Yamhill-Carlton. The vines were planted in 1998 in marine-sazelair, peavine, and willakenzie soil.
Only 75 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
Pungent and upfront with black cherries, black raspberries, currants, crushed rocks, black and white pepper, sweet raspberries, graphite, violets and fennel pollen. Full bodied with chewy, high tannins and crisp acidity. Such a lovely expression of Tempranillo!
Pair with slow-roasted pork loin with caraway dusted cippolini onion drizzled with a black peppercorn sauce.
Chef
A cool climate version of a warm climate grape, the Deux Vert tempranillo enchants with notes of olive tapenade, baked plum and heaps of black pepper. Terrific structure and balance make this wine great for summer barbeques.

Winemaking Notes
A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions. The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
