2017 Brooks Old Vine Pommard Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 300 cases, $60. Sourced from the original 1973 plantings of own-rooted Pommard clone located in the heart of the Brooks Estate Vineyard. · Light garnet color in the glass. Grounded aromas of dark red and black cherry, dried rose petal and sassafras. Light to mid-weight in style and largely red fruited with an interesting savory herb and earthy component. The polished tannins give a silken texture and the energetic acidity leads to a quenching finish. Score: 93. Reviewed May 28, 2022
