Oregon is almost identical to Burgundy climatically (apart from a dry summer). This is Brook’s wine for early drinking, named after a barrel which tumbled away from its rack. Those of a nervous disposition should be warned that the red label sports an image of Trotsky (was he the first Pinot socialist?). Scent of cherries and coffee. This is a very pure Pinot, all lightness and fine aromatics (almost Barolo-like). Satiny mid-palate vibrant with red cherry, redcurrant and cranberry with subtle spice. Long. Could be a lovely match for cold roast chicken, lightly chilled. Now-2014
