Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens slowly on the nose, revealing a core of wild blackberry and blueberry, with nuances of forest floor, liquorice, bitters and floral potpourri as it spends time in the glass. The light palate is smooth and juicy, with surprisingly concentrated flavours for its delicate frame, and a long, floral finish. This wine is elegant, expressive and easy to drink!

Dynamic and expressive, with fragrant aromas of violet and raspberry that highlight vibrant flavours of guava, white pepper and spiced tea, moving to medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033.

James Suckling (95)
Complex aromas of cherry stones, wild berries, liquorice, cardamom, bark and a little potpourri. There are also salty touches of olive. Medium-bodied, firm and refined, with very fine tannins. Tasty. Somewhat restrained for now. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink from 2024.
