2012 | Pinot Noir
Beaux Frères; Beaux Frères Vineyard (Estate)
Ribbon Ridge; Willamette Valley, OR, USA
(93-95; Drink 2027-37)
Delayed 2023 Thanksgiving with the extended family.
Much to look forward to here, all the B-F traits to love, strawberry, black raspberry, plum, white pepper, still bold and wanting several more years to really enter the zone for my palate.
The 2004 vintage is drinking perfectly now, a respectable presentation of the AVA. I can't wait for this to catch up. — 14 days ago

This exceptional Pinot Noir captivates with its velvety texture and nuanced layers of cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthy notes. The delicate balance of acidity and silky tannins creates a harmonious palate, culminating in a lingering, graceful finish. Truly a masterpiece among Pinot Noirs, this wine is an exquisite journey for the senses. — 19 hours ago
Another amazing D2. Starts off with the richness of the Merlot followed by some tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon. — 9 days ago

Needs a bit of air upon opening to blow off the reductive edge.
Shows juicy, ripe, creamy blueberry with a bit of toasted and a fresh, mineral streak.
The magic happens on the palate - brilliant energy & depth. Great, pure, juicy, fresh blueberries with rocky minerality. Sappy, velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, so fresh.
This is brilliant stuff - complex, elegant, quite serious. And so drinkable. . — 21 days ago
