Beaux Freres The Beaux Freres Vineyard 2019

A perfumed nose of cherry, wild strawberry, forest floor, dried flower, smoke and spice box. It’s medium-bodied with fine, creamy tannins and lively acidity. Round and balanced with a velvety texture. Layered with a long, savory finish. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.

Taut with tension, this slowly unwinds with complex cherry and guava flavors that are laced with notes of fresh tarragon and hints of river stone, building richness toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030.

The medium ruby-purple colored 2018 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens to lush rhubarb, cranberries and loamy earth with layers of blood orange, tea leaves, charcuterie and flowers. The medium-bodied palate offers broody, concentrated fruits with fine earth and spice accents, with a seamless, silky frame and lifted finish.Rating: 94+

From the estate vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA in Oregon, the 2016 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard sports a translucent ruby hue as well as a classic Burgundian bouquet of dried cherries, mulberries, forest floor, baking spices, and flowery incense notes. This carries to a medium-bodied 2016 that has an elegant, silky texture, beautiful balance between its fruit, acidity, and tannins, and a great finish. This wonderfully complex, nuanced, elegant Pinot Noir will evolve for a solid decade.
