Brooks Ara Riesling Willamette Valley 2008
Riesling | Oregon | United States
Our 2008 vintage of the wine featured at the White House State Dinner. Slate, spices, apples & honey ... definitely one for a collector (or President.) Only the finest and most complex fruit was selected for this beautiful blend. Promising great things for those who can hold onto it, cellaring for 3-5 years!
The Rieslings of the late Jimi Brooks were the clear standouts here. Riesling is regarded as a late ripener in the Willamette Valley. Brooks, Ara Riesling 2008 Willamette Valley 17 Drink 2011-17 Chris Williams makes the wine. He was Jimmy Brooks's assistant. Ex WillaKenzie. Quite big and opulent then tart and floral. 12.7%
