title: Brooks 2014 Big Cheese Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
description: As with the other single-vineyard wines from Brooks, this was give 18 months in French oak, and shows strong accents of baking spices and plum cake. The fruit leans toward raisins and figs—just on the edge of overripe—and continues into a finish with vanilla wafer and macaroons. There's a lot going on, but it has not (yet) knit together.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Big Cheese
