Top 100 bundle
This bundle consists of one high-scoring Pinot Noir and two high-scoring Rieslings that earned us the designation of a Top 100 Winery of 2021 by Wine & Spirits!
- 2018 Crannell Pinot Noir
92 Points Wine & Spirits – “From an east-facing site in the Eola Hills, with vines dating back to 1984, this has a savory scent of black, Darjeeling tea and raspberries, and a whiff of herb. The flavors are dark and spicy, the texture firm with bright acids and a sassafras grip of tannins to pour with wild mushroom pasta.” – Patrick J. Comiskey
- 2019 Ara Riesling
93 Points Wine & Spirits – “
Ara is usually made up of two vineyards, Brooks Estate and Yamhill Vineyard. It shows their old-vine complexity in two voices, one lean lime and green apple, the other a deeper voice, more given to stone fruits, nectarine and pale peach. Delivered with dry intensity, the tension between the vineyard expressions forms a complex matrix of flavor. It will reward patient cellaring.” – Patrick J. Comiskey - 2019 Lone Star Riesling
94 Points Wine & Spirits – “Contracting from Argyle’s main riesling vineyard, Brooks gets fruit from an east-facing block on Jory soils. This wine channels a kind of Eola Hills wildness, flinty from the wind, bright and lemony from the cool temperatures, perhaps even a salinity from the breezes that whip through the Van Duzer corridor. A petrol note and peach-blossom accents lend aromatic complexity. Then it seems to pivot, becoming very dry, very pure and driven, the acidity coursing through the middle and giving the finish a hair-raising vibrancy.” – Patrick J. Comiskey
