Beaux Frères, Oregon,
Ready, but will improve,
2014 was an excellent year in Oregon; bumper crops with exceptional quality fruit contributed to producing high quality wines with depth and power. One of the most promising varieties of the harvest was Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. The team at Beaux Frères describe 2014 as one of their best vintages yet. The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from the 24 acre Beaux Frères vineyard planted with Burgundian clones with an average vine age of 24 years old. A concentrated bright ruby hue swirls around the glass with primary notes of ripe red cherry and raspberry bursting through. Soft notes of blueberry combine with a kiss of oak spice and soft herbal notes. A very glossy style of Pinot Noir with a lingering finish which will benefit from several years of cellaring to truly express the quality of this vintage.

Beaux Frères is one of the most critically acclaimed wineries in Oregon. Not only is Beaux Frères producing impressive expressions of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, it is also co-owned by arguably the most famous wine critic in the world, Robert Parker.
Beaux Frères is a joint partnership between Michael Etzel and his brother in law, Robert Parker, and Robert Roy whose background as a commercial developer and civil engineer helped make the original partners’ dream a reality. Michael farms the two vineyards at Beaux Frères biodynamically to produce Pinot Noir which is the purest expression of their land. The first vines were planted on what was originally an old pig farm back in 1988 with the first vintage in 1991.
The philosophy of creating world-class Pinot Noir from fruit that represents the essence of the vineyard has remained unchanged ever since with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery. With past vintages high up on the lists of top Oregon Pinot Noirs it is no surprise that this is one of the most talked about wineries in the region.
