2022 Coury Pinot Noir
A pleasantly perfumed and structured Pinot Noir with savory notes of saucisson, porcini, and patchouli balanced by red cherry and raspberry bramble notes.
Comprised of the Coury Pinot Noir clone from Hyland vineyard located in the McMinnville AVA. The vines were planted in 1971 in jory soil.
Only 25 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
Red cherries, huckleberries, and pomegranate dominate the fruit notes on the nose, along with peppercorn, exotic spices, saffron, tarragon, umami characters, and hints of vanilla and chocolate. The palate mirrors the nose with precision and consistency married with bright and approachable acids making it a perfect wine for food or enjoyed by itself.
General Manager/Sommelier
Ripe cherry, bramble, and vanilla show through on the perfumed nose. Red fruit, cedar, cacao, and sasparilla on the palate. This is a lively Pinot with good tannin structure that creates depth while driving through to a salty finish.

Winemaking Notes
Heavy frost in April delayed flowering and pushed back the season. Cool temperatures in May and June further delayed the vintage. The fear was that the grapes wouldn't ripen in time for harvest if the rain and cold weather came in early October as usual.
Luckily July and August saw hot temperatures that helped accelerate ripening, and temperatures remained warm, and the rains held off until mid-October, allowing for an extended ripening period.
We let our grapes hang out until the last possible minute, just before the rain and cold weather hit. The 2022 harvest was fast and furious, to say the least! The resultant wines are stunningly balanced and expressive. A truly classic Oregon vintage!
