Beaux Frères is situated on a former pig farm in Ribbon Ridge, Oregon. Co-owner and managing partner Michael G. Etzel stumbled across the 36 hectare (88 acre) plot in 1986 and that same year purchased the land with his wine critic brother-in-law Robert Parker. From the start it was Pinot Noir that was to become the focus of the Yamhill County estate. In 1991, Robert Roy joined as the third co-owner of the estate and, with his help, the Beaux Frères winery was built, leading to the release of the estate's first Pinot Noir vintage under its own label.

Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace opens with graphite and earth aromas that segue to scents of briary fruits, peppered meats, blood orange and dark spices. Finely silty and super fresh, it boasts concentrated, layered fruit and a very long finish with a flourish of savory accents. (EB)” (12/2021)

“Sleek and dynamic, with vibrant raspberry and strawberry flavors that pull in accents of fresh violet, smoky spice and a dash of tarragon. Builds intensity and layers as it glides toward fine-grained tannins. (TF)” (03/2022)
