Eight vineyards comprise the Beaux Frères Willamette Valley bottling, with 8% coming from the estate vineyards. It was a vintage that started cool and then finished quickly. The Beaux Frères estate was very impacted by the frost, so much of the fruit is coming from secondary buds. The Willamette Valley bottling shows such freshness and bright fruit with tart cranberry aromatics balanced by a squeeze of blood orange and dusty red brambles. The finish is tart and fresh, with mint framing the delicate red berries, violet florals and tart Montmorency cherries. Delightful. (CP)
