Stephen Tanzer's IWC, April 2001

Bright ruby-red. Pungent oak spice, raspberry, tar, bacon and lilac on the slightly high-toned nose; strong torrefaction element. Concentrated, sappy red berry and oak flavors nicely framed by juicy acidity. Some distinct high tones and some serious, building tannins give this structured, ripe wine a slight finishing dryness. 88(+?) points

Wine Spectator, May 2000

Rich and generous in flavor. A lush mouthful of blackberry, anise, vanilla and spice that lingers, balanced with a nice zing of citrusy acidity in the middle. Has layers of complexity without excess weight...

About Winery

In 1986 while on vacation, Michael Etzel came upon an 88-acre pig farm for sale located on Ribbon Ridge in the Northern Willamette Valley, Yamhill County, Oregon. After some deliberation, Michael purchased the farm with his brother-in-law, Robert Parker, Jr. Michael uprooted his young family from Colorado and moved to the farm the following summer. He began his focused pursuit as a vineyard manager by planting only Pinot Noir and slowly transforming the old pig and dairy farm into his jewel. While planting his own vineyard, Michael worked four harvests at Ponzi Winery. In 1990, Michael harvested his first crop and sold the grapes, except enough to make one barrel, to winemakers Ken Wright and Dick Ponzi. In 1991 with the addition of a third partner Robert Roy, a renovation of one of the barns led to the creation of Beaux Frères Winery. With each new vintage, Michael's efforts unveil a Pinot Noir that is the purest expression of his vineyard.
