Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge 2016

95 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Mineral-accented red berries, incense and candied flowers on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose, with a spicy accent adding vivacity. Sappy, alluringly sweet and sharply delineated on the palate, offering juicy cherry, raspberry preserve and lavender pastille flavors that are sharpened by a zesty Asian spice nuance. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing extremely long and precise, with resonating spiciness and smooth, well-knit tannins. (JR) Inner quote mark (6/2019)95 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Remarkably and seamlessly complex, with a polished and refined core wrapped in silky raspberry and blueberry flavors, accented by savory spice and orange zest hints. The long finish builds toward polished tannins. *Highly Recommended* (TF) Inner quote mark (8/2018)
