The Beaux Frères 2023 The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir received a score of 95 from Wine Spectator. This is the estate's flagship bottling, sourced from their original vineyard planted in the Ribbon Ridge AVA in 1988. The Beaux Frères Vineyard sits on a unique site with sedimentary soils that produce Pinot Noir of exceptional depth and complexity. Robert Parker's involvement in the winery brought international attention to Oregon Pinot Noir in the 1990s, and the wines continue to receive critical acclaim. The estate practices biodynamic farming and minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the terroir to express itself fully. The 2023 vintage, while warm and challenging, produced concentrated wines with excellent structure. The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir typically shows intense aromatics of black cherry, blackberry, earth, and spice, with a palate that combines power and elegance. The tannins are firm but fine-grained, and the wine has exceptional aging potential of 15-20 years. This wine represents one of Oregon's most iconic Pinot Noirs and a benchmark for the Ribbon Ridge AVA.
