Beaux Freres, Ribbon Ridge "Upper Terrace Vineyard" Pinot Noir 2021	97 Vinous The 2021 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace takes its time, youthfully coiled and brooding in the glass. Coaxing reveals a decidedly savory bouquet with an earthy tinge, notes of sage and rosemary giving way to crushed wild berries and hints of cola. Silky and sleek, the 2021 flows easily across the palate, mixing a zesty citrus twang with red berry and spice depths underscored by a near-salty sensation. Tactile mineral tones mingle with ne tannins, adding grip through the finish as violet inner orals slowly fade, and the Upper Terrace sinks into a long slumber. Bury your bottles deep; this is liquid gold. 96 Wine Spectator This seductive and compelling red is rich and full-bodied yet light on its feet. Dynamic raspberry and cherry flavors open to notes of rose petal and baking spices, with hints of forest floor, as this builds texture and complexity on the lingering finish.
