The 2022 Rastaban Pinot Noir from Brooks Wine is a full-bodied red wine that showcases vibrant flavors of wild strawberries, cherry cola, and red currants. It concludes with delightful notes of Luxardo cherry and pomegranate syrup. This wine is sourced from the Brooks Estate vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon, utilizing three distinct Pinot Noir clones: Pommard, 115, and 777. The grapes are cultivated in volcanic basalt-nekia soil and are farmed using biodynamic practices. The name "Rastaban" is derived from a star in the Draco constellation, reflecting the mythology and astrology themes that were significant in Jimi Brooks' early winemaking endeavors.
