Beaux Frères Tasting Notes
The 2005 Upper Terrace has much of the Beaux Frères Vineyards character, but exhibits a deeper color, more depth, and even more color and richness with unmistakable floral and forest floor components that clearly suggest a grand cru red Burgundy from the Cotes de Nuits, notably Vosne-Romanee or Flagey-Echezeaux. The wines from this vineyard exhibit a Burgundian aromatic profile and the vineyard tends to crop lower almost naturally, so the wine seems to have even more density, and richness than our Beaux Frères Vineyard. This 2005 will benefit from 1-3 years of bottle age, and be drinkable over the following 12-15+ years.

Wine Spectator
Has a plush feel, despite its open, velvety texture, offering black cherry, raspberry and subtle spice flavors, finishing with a fleshiness that makes it seductive. More up-front than the Beaux Frères Vineyard bottling, but should hum well for quite a few years. Drink now through 2015. 880 cases made. —Harvey Steiman, 92 points
