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. — 15 days ago

A bit tart and slightly bitter. Good dark fruit perhaps in a few years it will smooth out. — 4 months ago

Earth, barnyard, crunchy berries, depth and breadth envelops the palate. Layers upon layers. Plenty left to give. Fantastic offering from the Etzel’s. — 18 days ago

In a deeper and darker register then I was expecting from this producer but I don’t think over tried the fumin before. Earthy, saline, dark berries, cassis, licorice, low to medium acid — 2 months ago
