Brooks – Rastaban 2014 Pinot noir – Brooks Estate Vineyard

Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of red cherry, redcurrant and crushed fresh raspberry associated with hints of crème de cassis, oak as well as a subtle hint of Tonka bean. The palate is fruity, juicy, mineral, silky and offers a beautiful mineral frame, a slight acidity as well as a slight suavity/fat. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of cassis, black cherry and small notes of plum associated with touches of fresh raspberry, jammy/fresg small red berries, toasted touches oak as well as a subtle hint of chocolate, spices, vanilla and a very discreet hint of flowers on the persistence. Good length.
