From the second generation of the Beaux Freres founding partners, this wine is opulent and elegant and made with a great deal of finesse. With notes of rich black cherry, violets, chocolate and a touch of tar, this is a complex Pinot Noir. On the palate, fresh fruit transitions to include died and stewed characteristics with earthy undertones and the addition of dried savory herbs. Tannins are grippy and well integrated and fading to a finish with tart dried plum and cocoa. Delicious.
