2012 Brooks Janus Pinot Noir 100% Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, Oregon
$45 bottle
"Root beer, bacon, blackberry, dark fruits, smoked meat, rose petal, plum and damson cherry. This wine has such a beautiful perfume! Clove and Chinese five spice over a lush mouthfeel of ripe cherry, red plum and strawberry. The Janus is rich and full bodied, fruit forward with round velvety plushness and a finish of bright acidity and ripe red fruits. This is a hedonistic pleasure and absolutely a pleasure to drink. This would be a main course wine with duck and cherries, pork loin or porchetta. Lamb ribs or a fat piece of fillet covered in a buttery mushroom cream sauce would be ethereal!" - Chris Blanchard, Master Sommelier |
| | 92 Points - Wine Spectator "This inviting and elegant style is lithe, velvety and open-textured, focusing on currant and plum flavors that float gently through the long finish, gaining traction against modest tannins. Drink now through 2022." |
