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. - Audrey Frick

Dark and brooding, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères 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 in reserve. -- Eric Guido

This estate's signature vineyard was a plum orchard for many years. This site is a mix of own-rooted vines along with grafted Dijon clones. The oldest vines are 34 years old. This wine combines elegance and depth of complexity to a tee. The aromatics of the site's signature forest floor and exotic spices hint at lingering dark fruit notes. Red berry fruits give way to pluots, black plums and mint. There is a savoury underline throughout the wine's balanced, elegant texture. Silky tannins to finish.

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.

(95+ points) 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! - Erin Brooks
