From Beaux Frères original estate vineyard, planted by Mike and Jackie Etzel from 1987 through 1991, and primarily to Pommard & Wädenswil clones, all on their own roots. The 2015 vintage is a portrait of weightlessness and concentration—an expression Oregon Pinot Noir can achieve in a good vintage, and under the watchful eye of a skilled team. Red berries on the nose, as well as cherry, rosehip, cola, and white pepper. Lovely structure, depth, and concentration in addition to breathtaking persistence. Sample
