The 2021 wine is full of classic features: ripe, dark cherry skins, orange zest, and subtle white flower and miso notes.
Layered and graceful, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Freres Vineyard pours a ripe ruby hue and reveals a beautiful perfume of orange rind, fresh red plum, clove spice, and rocky earth. Medium-bodied, with tremendous energy, fine tannins, a mineral texture, and a great, lightly toasty finish, it’s a gorgeous wine to drink over the next 10-12 years. Absolutely beautiful.
Dark and brooding, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Freres Vineyard, opens slowly in the glass, mixing dried black cherries and cola with savory herbs and dusty earth. It's elegant and refined with polished red berry fruits and saline minerals guided by bbrisk acidity. Long and staining, the 2021 finishes with a youthful grip and primary wild berry concentration, promising many years of positive development. Today the 2021 is holding its power in reserve.
Complex aromas of cherry stones, bramble berries, licorice, cardamom, bark and some potpourri. Salty olive undertones, too. It’s medium-bodied, tight and refined, with very fine tannins. Savory. Somewhat restrained for now. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink from 2024.
Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens slowly on the nose to a core of wild blackberry and blueberry, revealing tones of forest floor, licorice, bitters and floral potpourri as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is soft and juicy with surprisingly concentrated flavors for its delicate frame, and it has a long, floral finish. This is elegant, expressive and easy to drink! Rating: 95+
Dynamic and expressive, with fragrant violet and raspberry aromas that highlight spirited guava, white pepper and spiced tea flavors, which build toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033.
