NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Brooks Rastaban Pinot Noir enchants with a radiant ruby-red hue, setting the stage for a bouquet replete with red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle rose petal aromas, intertwined with whispers of earthy forest floor and spice.The palate is a dance of grace and depth, where luscious red fruit flavors meld seamlessly with notes of clove, wet stone, and a touch of leather. Silky tannins and a poised acidity form the backbone, guiding the wine to a finish that lingers, resonating with hints of raspberry and a gentle smokiness. A truly harmonious and evocative expression of Willamette Valley's star-studded potential.

ORIGINS
Winery: Brooks
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
