Tasting notes
Simply spellbinding, the cool-vintage 2010 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard wafts up with a mature bouquet of savory herbs, fall leaves, shaved cedar, hints of green olive, flowery underbrush and red currants. It washes across the palate, lifted and refined. Ripe red fruits take on a more tactile feel as brisk acidity and sour citrus swirl under an air of rosy inner florals. It finishes long and mineral in style, leaving a salty tinge and unbelievable freshness. If you can find the 2010, don't pass up on the opportunity. This wine is perfectly mature.

Bright violet color. Explosively perfumed aromas of red and dark berry preserves, Asian spices and potpourri, with cola and vanilla accents building in the glass. Sappy, broad and appealingly sweet, offering lively, spicy dark berry flavors with nuances of soy and candied flowers. Shows plenty of upfront appeal and intense fruit, finishing smooth, spicy and very long.
