 | 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 11/13/2023 | Motz | 93 |
Red berries, with purple berry accents, meadow flowers, herbs, sous-bois, and black earth on the bouquet and palate. Taut, delightfully so, and still showing youthful elements. I preferred this over the 2008 vintage. This bottle had five to seven years, perhaps ten, of life. Improvement seems possible. 93-94. (1511 views) | ||||

Herbal lift, candied red fruit nose. Tasted extracted, but smoothed out by its age. Red and dark fruit, still fairly bright and holding acid, not too shabby and definitely not flabby. 90 (1301 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 3/20/2021 | derrington | 94 |
Decanted an hour before. Very fruit forward! Leads with blueberry, with a bit of cherry and maybe blackberry in the background. Acidity very much in balance. Color thinning on the edges. It won't get better, but it is not in any danger of slipping over the edge. I would say it has a couple of years ahead of it. Sadly, it is my last bottle. Hats off to Mike Etzel, he did very well with this one which is no surprise. (3075 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 10/17/2020 | Scamber | 93 |
Delicious. Shows maturity not through aged funk but rather a softening of the primary palate. Cherry, blueberry, faint prickly blackberry, some citrus lightening things up. Soft and integrated, still fresh. (3189 views) | ||||

A multi hour revelation, opening up into an evolving display of various fruit (dark red cherry, plum, even blueberry), also cocoa, coffee, mushroom, among others. (1997 views) | ||||

I have tasted every Beaux Freres since 1993 and upon opening every bottle I ask: how is this Pinot Noir? Okay, this bottle is 12 years old, has fruit, slight spritz on uncorking, balance, depth, married well with food. Preferable to any other Oregon or Cali Pinot which to my taste should be in the cola aisle. I've had Gambal Volnay and Pommard and recently, Pinot color, nose, acid, Pinot all the way. | ||||

- Garnet color. It's balanced with a light/medium body. Smooth texture - My last bottle. Drank it on Fathers Day while boating with Kasey, Gunnar and Emily. Fabulous to the last drop. (3225 views) | ||||

- Garnet color. It's balanced with a medium body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Drank at Tuccis celebrating my 56th birthday. Gunnar, Emily and Kasey joined me. (2797 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 1/30/2018 | Motz | 93 |
Tasted over two days. It actually showed beautifully upon opening and for several hours thereafter, with elegant fruit backed by highly appealing terroir elements. Toward the end of the evening a slightly bitter twang came forward, similar to galvanized metal. Also noticed what came off as slightly unbalanced acidity. Had it at 94 points before this. Red fruited and open knit on the second day, quite appealing, though the angular acidity was more pronounced. It might be in a phase, but I have scored it 93 points three times over two+ years. Recommend drinking by 2025. (3739 views) | ||||

Picked off the list by the somm at Alinea. I didn't take detailed notes on this. It's in a good spot to drink although having had some older vintages of this, there's really no rush. I like the woodsy characteristic to it. (4397 views) | ||||

This bottle just never opened up. Opened and PnP. | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 4/15/2017 | bravo.solares | 92 |
Medium red color. PNP, drank over 80 mins. In a good drinking window, but this may still improve over the next 3 yrs. Great nose - lots of spices, earthy, and cherries. Medium bodied palate. Cherries, cinnaon, spices. Elegant and balanced. Well integrated tanninsmand oak. red berry, lifted, pretty wood spice notes, and a long finish. May be even better in two or three yrs. | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 1/28/2017 | rocknroller | 93 |
Medium red color. PNP, split bottle over 75 minutes. The best bottle to date and probably right at peak now - though this can go on for a number of years. The nose is a beautiful array of complex spices, red cherry, and earth. The palate is medium bodied, elegant with spiced sour cherry, red berry, lifted, pretty wood spice notes, and a long finish. The balance shines with perfect integration of wood, fruit and tannins. Love it. 93+pts. (2935 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 12/3/2016 | hackey37 | 92 |
Nice clarity and beautiful light ruby color and translucent. Aromas are floral, peppery spice, cinnamon, cranberry, and earthy notes. The tastes are cranberry, cherry, cinnamon, mushrooms, and tart hard candy. The acids are racy and the finish is long. (2357 views) | ||||

Wine Spectator, NY Wine Experience Grand Tasting...more wines than time...shorter notes (NY City): Glad they brought one with some age on it, this one from a mixed vintage... | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 10/9/2016 | jjjordan | |
Was prepared to decant this a bit but felt it was ready straight away and we let it open over the course of the evening. Medium color for a Pinot. Red fruit, mushrooms, and cocoa on the nose and full, bright red fruit on the palate. Drinking very well right now and we enjoyed it. Starting to get the feeling that while '07 clearly isn't as good as '08, it's not nearly as bad as everyone initially made it out to be. (2744 views) | ||||

At 9 years old this wine is in a good place. Got to give it a good shake to let the S02 out. No bricking yet, but some secondary flavors emerging. Red berries with some earthiness. Silky well rounded wine. (2631 views) | ||||

Light fruity nose | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 5/15/2016 | millerarner | 92 |
Had one of these half a year ago and it seemed a little tight. This one was ready immediately. Nose of barnyard, wet earth, mushroom. The palate is surprisingly fruit forward, and as another taster noted, seems more Sonoma than Willamette (at least in the mouth). Lingering finish. Based on this bottle, I'll wait a year for the next one. (2726 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 4/9/2016 | magyarsvensk | 91 |
Typical Pinot scents and flavors of pomegranate, morello cherry and cola. Clean and fruity, not so earthy. (3058 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 1/30/2016 | Scamber | 91 |
PnP, started singing just 30 mins in. High toned red fruit, some blue fruit, fine tannins, moderate acid, and long, lingering finish. I would have guessed Sonoma over Willamette. Good structure. Two hours in, though, it was giving up. For the price I prefer more complexity. Still, very good from an excellent producer. (2988 views) | ||||

All right - not alright, all is right with this wine. Truly excellent Pinot noir - tasted at winery - this is what outstanding Pinot tastes like. Smooth and silky with excellent balance and backbone- as good as it gets (2874 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 12/15/2015 | Motz | 93 |
Drank over three days alongside two other BF bottlings. This was the best wine of the three. It features more earthy substance (as opposed to fruit) than the 2008 vintage, yet was fuller than the 2007 Upper Terrace. The 2007 and 2011 vintages of Oregon Pinot Noir lean toward the Burgundian style because of the coolness, and I find the wines enjoyable. (2965 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 11/4/2015 | Motz | 93 |
Lively bouquet, vivacious on the palate, acid going strong, superb balance, generous silky texture, excellent finish. Minimal bricking, drinking young. At least five to seven years of life, probably more. (3003 views) | ||||

Now I;m thinking I waited too long. While it was fresh and had nice acidity right away, it faded quickly. Half bottle left next day was over the hill. Drink up. (2640 views) | ||||

Lovely. PnP this time. Should have decanted at least a little, although it opened up fairly quickly in the glass. Light strawberry with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, with a moderately long finish. A nice Pinot with a lightly grilled salmon. (2412 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 9/6/2015 | Vinsant | |
Sippin well with a short decant. Lots of red fruit, spice, Oregon beach, cinnamon, and clean earth. Reminds me of the lighter 07s from OR I've had with a bit more oomph. Has lots of life yet but at a nice balance of fruit and earth now. (2933 views) | ||||
| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 8/23/2015 | pdxwinefan | 93 |
Really amazing what Beaux Freres pulled off with this wine in a tough year. It's lighter than other vintages to be sure, but still a nice ruby in the glass. Bright cherries, a touch of red berry, a hint of cinnamon all backed by a subtle acidity. A nice lingering finish. Very enjoyable and in a great spot. No hurry though--I think this will last at least a couple more years. (2312 views) | ||||

| 2007 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard | 1/7/2015 | rocknroller | 93 |
Medium dark red color. PNP, drank several glasses over 3 hours. The nose is particularly intoxicating with a perfume of earth and floral delights, cherry, raspberry, cinnamon, and an exotic array of spices. The palate is equally appealing with lovely vibrance, tangy, medium body, red and darker red fruits of cherry and raspberry, earthy with a firm streak of minerality, tart, spiced, and long. This was very elegant, very well balanced, and quite expressive. 92+ to 93pts. (2999 views) | ||||

Wine came across as incredibly underwhelming. Sour profile and also appears to have had too heavy a hand in added SO2. Don't think bottle was flawed, just not good. (2803 views) | ||||

Getting ready for the holidays with a Burgundy dinner (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Very charming ripe black and red cherry aromas, showing fat but balanced fruit. Lacy and well textured, this shows overall balance on palate as well, no signs of heat anywhere. Only nit is that today I find too much overt oak spice coming through. Upside from here if the oak integrates better as I expect. (5792 views) | ||||

Decanted for two hours. I thought this helped calm the acidity it had right out of the bottle. Beautiful, expressive nose. Nice cherry, strawberry flavors. I've tried several of 2007 Oregon pinots in the last year and I think they are really starting to come together nicely. This one is ready to go, but no signs of it being on the downhill side.

Slightly less concentration than the '09 Beaux Freres, BFV. I guess, of all of the high production wineries in the area that get national distribution, this is as good as any of them; I just feel that the pro-critics of the world always add on 2 or 3 bonus "label" points to each vintage of the BF, year after year. Again, not that I have anything against BF, but it always seems to come in somewhere in the middle of the pack whenever I stack it up against the local competition (Willamette Valley PNs). Honestly I think that, vintage to vingage, double-blind, any random bottle of $40 Oregon Pinot would kick sand in the face of any bottling of $80+ BF. Bold statement perhaps, but take the pepsi-challenge, and then tell me I'm wrong. (3687 views) | ||||

Garnet and medium brick with med-lite viscosity in the glass. Cherry, strawberry pie with whipped cream, earth, wet stone and black cherry skin on the nose. Medium body with black cherry, tart citrus and iron minerals on the palate. Silky mouthfeel. Medium finish. Mildly complex, decent structure and nicely polished. (3618 views) | ||||

At cellar temp the wine was quite tart, almost sharp. Hint of effervescence initially. With warmth and some air, it evolved into a much more complex and smoother wine. Dark cherries and blackberries. Still bright. Became almost silky over the two hours it was open. I will hold subsequent bottles for a few more years. (3736 views) | ||||

With great disappointment we opened this bottle and tasted fizz. While it smelled fine when we uncorked it, the smell proceeded to fade away in the next 30 minutes but the fizz remained. It was just a bad bottle. We have two additional bottles and will be interested to see how they actually taste as they were designed to taste. (2516 views) | ||||

Tasted at the winery. Plush red fruit and floral notes on the nose. Complex and layered on the palate with spice, some funk, and pine mixed with red fruit. Very ageworthy but shows nice balance at the moment. I can see even more complexity coming out with some time. (4383 views) | ||||

Harvest moon over Willamette Valley; 9/20/2009-9/25/2009 (Willamette Valley, various wineries): More body than the Willamette Valley entry (well, whatever one should call it at USD 50...) level wine, still feminine expression with silky smooth texture. A little fragmented. Jammy baked fruit. Slurpy. and the most fruit forward of the 2007s I tried, but given the 70 % or so new oak this wine sees, I was impressed with how elegant that touch of oak was. (6613 views) | ||||

A big wine but still feminine. Great nose of sweet strawberries and cherries, rhubarb, rose, clove, pickle, and white mushroom. Decent acidity, nice mouthfeel, and long finish. Palate full of plush yet racy red fruit, light vanilla, clove and baking spices, and some minerals kicking around. Clean fruit, no sign of barnyard or leaves...yet! Delish now but assume this will be great in years to come. (5812 views) | ||||

13.5% alcohol. decanted. vines planted in 1989, pommard clone. nose is rich and fragrant, but needs to be coaxed. black cherry, good mixture of earth and spice, very smooth tannin for such a young wine. good structure bodes well for medium aging (5-10 years). good, but not deep ruby color. this is a pleasing wine, but the price is insane ($85 in our market!).

Memorial Day weekend tasting, 2008 Oregon Pinot Noir barrel samples (Northern Willamette Valley): Same translucent brick/brown color as the WV. Smoother aromas of spice, clove, and raspberry. Brighter red fruits, light spicy oak, and soil on the mid-palate. More polished finish showing more fruit, some dirty oak, but it's still a little hot. (6819 views) | ||||
