Includes 3 bottles of 2012 Beaux Frères, the Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir. From the vineyard that Robert Parker and his brother-in-law started.
Tasting Notes:
Composition: As always this wine is 100% from our estate vineyard. It was originally planted to Pommard & Wadenswil clones on their own roots.
The color is deep, dense ruby/purple. The nose begins with a classic display of forest floor, spice and flowery ripe black raspberries and blue fruits. This wine has a vague resemblance to a Richebourg from Burgundy. Full-bodied, with perfect harmony among all its components - tannin, acidity, alcohol, wood and extract. This compelling wine will age for 15+ years and rank with the 1994 and 2002 vintages.
Vineyard Info:
Our original estate vineyard was planted by Mike and Jackie Etzel from 1987-1991. This 23 acre vineyard is planted on tight spacing of one by two meters. It is pruned in the Burgundian style called Guyot and trained on a vertical trellis system. An average vine age of 22 years puts this vineyard in the prime of its life. Originally Mike farmed it conventionally but about 11 years ago started experimenting with nonconventional farming methods and now our entire property is being farmed using biodynamic principles. We are not certiï¬ÂÂ?ed either organic or biodynamic but we invite you to visit our farm (by appointment please) and see our farming practices ï¬ÂÂ?rsthand.
