2015 Brooks La Chenaie Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.25, TA 0.62, 125 cases, $48. Wädenswil clone harvested at 23.6º Brix. Native yeast fermentation, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Cross-flow filtered. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Demure scents of purple berry, black cherry, fertile earth and ripe fruit bin lead to a mid weight plus styled wine with a bountiful core of black cherry fruit accented with nutty oak. Quite earthy, with a moderately firm tannic backbone, a satiny texture and a finish filled with well-ripened fruit. More expressive when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 91. Reviewed October 12, 2018 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2014 Brooks La Chenaie Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., pH 3.41, TA 0.60, 75 cases, $48. Vineyard planted in 2006 at 485 feet elevation in ancient volcanic soils. Wädenswil clone. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Cross-flow filtered. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Enticing aromas of cherry, Asian spices, earthy flora and a touch of oak. Silky, elegant and reserved initially, showing more mid palate expression and finish over time in the glass. The wine’s light to mid weight flavors of dark red cherry, cranberry, raspberry and plum are infused with racy acidity that is most evident on the lip-smacking and hi-pitched, citrus-driven finish. Score: 91. Reviewed September 18, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
