Beaux Frères The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

$89.99

95 Points Wine Spectator                                           Limited new release from Beaux-Freres. Wine Spectator #3 of 2016. 95 Points Wine Spectator:  "Combines structure with verve, offering richly expressive raspberry, violet and orange peel flavors that take on polish and complexity toward well-buffed tannins. Drink now through 2028." 95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Deep red. High-pitched cherry, black raspberry and rose scents are complemented by hints of succulent herbs, exotic spices and musky flowers. Shows impressive energy and focus on the palate, offering juicy dark berry, bitter cherry and rose pastille flavors given a spicy edge by a hint of star anise. Closes smooth, appealingly sweet and very long, with fine-grained tannins adding framework and gentle grip." 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!

Truly great American Pinot Noir. Intense cherry flavor with a smooth and elegant finish.

Good fruit, Cherries, red fruit, great nose, low acidity, don’t agree with the $100 price point but good wine IMO

Christmas Eve with the parents. Ripe red cherry and lively acidity. This paired perfectly with French cut pork rack. IMO this could improve in a few years.

biodynamic wine, must be low SO2 since i'm picking up gas on the attack. very light, pleasant. not sure it merits $100 price tag. bottled as always in extra thick glass...alc 13.9%. fun to try the brother-in-law again, it's been years.

Beautiful Pinot Noir that is very approachable now but clearly will age well for upwards of 15-20 years.

2017 vintage. Surprisingly open for business at this point in its evolution. Savory red and saline blue fruits with a burst of flavor and complexity, and great finish. Drinking well now with a brief decant, but has the balance and structure to improve further over the next few years.
