Limited new release from Beaux-Freres. Wine Spectator #3 of 2016. The Beaux Freres vineyards are located on an 86-acre farm in Yamhill County's Willamette Valley. Majestic Douglas fir trees comprise just under 50 acres of the farm, with the homestead and barns occupying another six acres. The vineyard is situated on 30 acres of steep contiguous hillsides that enjoy an exceptional south/southwest exposure. The property, purchased in 1987 by Michael Etzel and the noted wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr., was named Beaux Freres (the brothers-in-law). A few years later Robert Roy, a Pinot Noir and red burgundy enthusiast from Quebec, became the third member of the Beaux Freres partnership. A limited opportunity to try some of Oregon's highest rated Pinots!

Soft and splendid with rose and cinnamon on the nose. Jill wants this to be her perfume and it would make for a nice spring afternoon hammock cuddle. Has a darkness on the palate that I expect from Ribbon Ridge with cherries and baking spices.
