Darkly floral, the 2022 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard wafts up with an earthy bouquet as flowery underbrush and crushed ashen stones complicate dried black cherries and a flourish of lavender. This is cool-toned and racy, with a cascade of sweet spice and ripe red and blue fruits that flow across a stream of vibrant acidity. The 2022 finishes structured, long and beautifully balanced, leaving a classically dry sensation as rosy inner florals gradually recede. In 2022, Mikey Metzel pushed the new oak up to 35% from 25% due to the quality of the tannins and freshness of the fruit.

The 2022 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard has dynamic aromas that segue from charcuterie and flint to roasted cranberries, forest floor and spice. The medium-bodied palate has pleasantly broody, meaty flavors structured by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in bottle.
