Brooks Wine 2022 Lone Star Riesling

The 2022 Lone Star Riesling from Brooks is crisp, focused, and full of energy. Sourced from the Lone Star Vineyard in Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA, this dry Riesling reflects the vineyard’s volcanic soils and cool winds. It opens with vibrant citrus, fresh pear, and white blossoms, all wrapped in mineral tension.

Brooks remains a leader in biodynamic and regenerative farming. Every wine they produce carries the stamp of place, purpose, and precision. In 2022, the season started with frost, but summer warmth brought balance. Harvest came late, allowing the fruit to ripen fully while retaining natural acidity.

The winemaking team fermented the Riesling in stainless steel, preserving its bright fruit and clarity. No oak was used. The result is pure and expressive. Citrus and orchard fruit lead the way, followed by a stony, saline finish that lingers. The wine’s linear shape and vibrant structure make it perfect with oysters, sushi, or grilled vegetables.

James Suckling awarded this vintage 93 points, calling it “lively, tense, and long.” With only around 200 cases produced, this wine is a rare gem from one of Oregon’s most respected estates. Brooks doesn’t chase trends. Instead, they focus on sustainable farming and transparent winemaking — values that shine through in every sip.
