Dark and brooding, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beau Frère's 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 brisk 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 and reserve.

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+
95 Points from James Suckling
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.
