Rated 98
A jeweled, youthful ruby hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir The Beaux Freres Vineyard is fantastically layered with bright red fruit, preserved cranberries, lifted spice, and crushed stones, and the palate is elegant and refined, with fine tannins and a great harmonious and tapered finish. It's very well-detailed, with a chiseled structure that makes itself known, and it's only going to improve with time in the bottle. Drink 2026-2046.
