Description
2022 Pinot Noir, The Beaux Frères Vineyard, Beaux Frères
About the Winery: Founded in 1986 by winemaker Michael Etzel and his brother-in-law, the renowned wine critic Robert Parker, Beaux Frères rapidly became one of Oregon’s most iconic Pinot Noir estates. Located in the Ribbon Ridge AVA of the Willamette Valley, the estate is farmed biodynamically and organically, with an emphasis on gentle handling, low yields and meticulous parcel selection. “The Beaux Frères Vineyard” is the estate’s flagship bottling, admired for its purity, aromatic lift and powerfully elegant expression of Ribbon Ridge terroir.
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir (biodynamic, estate-grown fruit)
Appearance: Medium ruby with bright translucence and a refined, polished rim.
Aroma: Wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry with layers of rose petal, dried herbs, cedar, forest floor and subtle spice. Pure, lifted and deeply expressive with signature Ribbon Ridge earthiness.
Palate: Silky and vibrant with refined red fruit, fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, savoury, mineral-laced finish. Combines elegance, tension and subtle power in a seamless, beautifully balanced profile.
Body: Medium-bodied with refined texture and understated depth.
Acidity: Medium to high, contributing freshness, lift and age-worthy precision.
Cellaring Potential: Excellent—enjoy now or cellar 8–12 years for increased complexity, savoury nuance and aromatic layering.
Perfect Pairing: Duck breast, salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, root vegetables and soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert.
Serving Temperature: 14–16°C to highlight aromatic detail and finesse.
