2021 Beaux Frères ‘Belles Soeurs’ Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

WSI95 WA95 The 2021 Pinot Noir The Belles Soeurs opens from bright orange peel to a deeper core of pomegranate, raspberry, dried earth and botanicals, really blossoming as it spends time in the glass and from day to day after the bottle is opened. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated, floral flavors, chalky tannins and juicy acidity, and it offers a long, spicy finish with a fan of amaro-like spices. This is fresh and easy to drink without sacrificing any complexity!
JS95 An elegant, ethereal and transparent pinot with fresh raspberries, cranberries, red tea, licorice, cardamom and persimmons on the nose. All about the vibrant red fruit, with so much energy and life. Fine, seamless tannins. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink or hold.
