Founded in 1998, Brooks reflects the visionary Portland native, Jimi Brooks. His reverence for the land and vines made him a practitioner of organic and biodynamic farming. He has great respect for vineyard individuality and mastery of blending, which have allowed his wines to achieve the great depth and balance.

The 2022 Brooks Riesling is made from 100% Riesling from the Brooks Estate vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills. The vines were planted between 1974-1976 in volcanic basalt soil. Brooks Estate Vineyard is farmed biodynamic. Only 180 cases were produced. The color is golden in the glass. There are aromas of white peach, lemon-lime, wildflowers and a hint of limestone and flint. The palate shows zippy acidity and good structure and tropical fruit with a slight salinity leading to a bright and focused finish.
