Brooks Winery Pinot noir Willamette Valley 2010

This knocks me out. It drew me in with the first waft from the glass - I want to take this beauty home. Pure prettiness. Elegant aromas of red fruit, sandalwood, and flowers rise from the glass. Silky and soft, this makes for great early drinking or pairing with any lighter food. - Andy & Marcus

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

Even among the great under $25 Pinots from the 2008 vintage, this is a standout in quality.

Great complexity for the value - cherry cobbler, sandalwood, orange essence, with a delectable black cherry core and light smoke notes accenting the sweet huckleberries on the finish. A versatile Pinot noir that is equally comfortable as a sipper or with a plate of ribs and Brussels sprouts. - Marcus

The Pinot has loads of smoky, black fruits and cinnamon, with hints of meatiness. The fruit is bold but elegant. Superb value.
