Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.

Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
Textbook balance of acid-driven citrus and orchard fruits alongside a subtle richness, with baking spices and saline minerality keeping everything fresh and mouthwatering.
Jen Cossey
General Manager/Sommelier
A lush body that coats the palate with notes of green apple, lemondrop, and confectionary richness. Racing acid cleans the palate and leaves you ready for the next sip.

Winemaking Notes

The 2023 growing season kicked off with a late budbreak, reminiscent of 2011. Following budbreak, a sudden shift to warm, dry weather marked the season, with only one June rain event.
Ideal summer weather prevailed until a brief hot spell in August. Harvest commenced in late August, progressing smoothly until rains in September, which delayed picking but alleviated drought stress.
Overall, fruit quality remained excellent, with balanced acidity and moderate sugars. While rain disrupted harvest timing, some fruit still met the 100-day bloom-to-harvest rule, suggesting no significant quality differences pre- and post-rain. 2023 wines will have beautiful concentration, exceptional freshness, and flavors.
