The 2001 Beaux Fréres Vineyard, Pinot Noir -- "This Pinot Noir is a medium dark ruby color with a sweet nose of black cherries, currants, vanilla and a touch of spice, this medium-bodied wine offers straightforward currant and cherry fruit flavors, a silky texture, a soft underbody, and an up-front, forward style. In terms of wines we have produced to date, it is by far the most evolved and forward Pinot Noir since the 1995. Anticipated maturity: now-2007."


The 2002 Beaux Fréres Vineyard, Pinot Noir -- "Possibly the finest wine we have made from this hillside vineyard, the 2002 Beaux Frères is an atypically powerful, opulent, flamboyant offering. Dense ruby/purple with a dramatic display of blackberries, cherry liqueur, new saddle leather, toast, and hints of licorice as well as underbrush. Anticipated maturity: 2005-14."


The 2003 Beaux Fréres Vineyard, Pinot Noir --" Our 2003 Beaux Frères reveals a classic Pinot Noir perfume of black fruits (a common characteristic of our finest vintages) in addition to forest floor and floral notes. While not as broad or powerful as the 2002 Beaux Frères, it is richer than our highly successful 1999, and more accessible and forward than many of our cuvèes, before they round into shape. As usual, this wine has been bottled with neither fining nor filtration and extremely low levels of sulfur. Anticipated Maturity: 2006-2018." Beaux Frères winemaker.
