Limited new release from Beaux-Freres, one of Oregon's best wineries. 94 Points Wine Spectator: "Polished, rich and impressively structured, with rose petal and raspberry notes that build toward a sleekly dynamic finish and refined tannins. Drink now through 2029." 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!

It’s Beaux Frères, so of course it’s good Pinot Noir. But perhaps this bottle could use some age. The nose is perfect for Pinot Noir, full of cherry. And the palette starts out great, with lots of fruit. But the finish has a small amount of harshness and acidity that will likely disappear with age.

Intense aromas of cherry, raspberry, overripe strawberry and some potting soil. The pallet is fluid with red fruit, and dried mushroom. Medium bodied, smooth, dry with lively acidity and a hearty finish. Lovely and complex Pinot Noir with tons of character paired with French onion soup.

Excellent!!! A very nice and complex Pinot. Raspberry, Black Cherry, and Oak notes. Smooth and full body. Definitely a worthy purchase.

Darkest of the 3 wines at this tasting- a bit jammy at first but also a sweetness there of ripe strawberries or raspberries. A medium+ body, smooth with balanced tannins and alcohol down the throat. Had during a Wine.com Zoom Tasting
