Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace is from a vineyard adjacent to Sequitur and planted in 1999. A reflective red hue, the wine is a bit reduced on opening, with notes of black raspberries, dark stones, a hint of violets, and sage, then takes on more lifted woodsy spice, toast, and piney herbs. It fills the palate with a plush texture and pure, ripe fruit and has a seamless feel and a long finish. It’s going to age gracefully and offer a wide drinking window over the coming 15 or so years, but if opening soon, it will benefit from decanting.

Decanter

The 2022 version of the often-effusive Upper Terrace is still tightly wound in its nascent state. The new oak is about 31% on this wine, as it shows sweet notes of fleshy ripe cherries, desiccated foliage and turned damp organic soils. The palate shows its true elegance. It's textured and rich with vibrant red berry fruits and evergreen tips mixed with mint and savoury richness. The earthen character comes forth here as well as mushroom and forest floor linger long and lovely on the finish.

Vinous

The 2022 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace has a stony quality that adds lovely depth, opening with a blend of dusty dried flowers, savory spice, dried wild berries and hints of cedar. Seamlessly silky, it floods the palate with masses of ripe fruit and a cascade of inner florals, revealing a stern mineral core as sweet tannins frame the finish. This leaves a staining of primary concentration, tapering off with amazing length and potency. An air of lavender resonates over a tinge of tart blackberry fruit.

About This Wine

More about 2022 BEAUX FRERES THE UPPER TERRACE WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR: High above the mist line of Ribbon Ridge, the Upper Terrace vineyard rests at the meeting point of earth and sky. It's a place where Oregon's rugged individuality meets the timeless elegance of Burgundy. Dijon clones rooted in Willakenzie soil, farmed organically and shaped by the pulse of the Pacific winds, bring forth a revelation: a Pinot Noir of depth, tension, and undeniable grace. The vineyard's steep, south-facing slopes are carved from ancient marine-sedimentary soils of sandstone and clay that drain quickly, yielding fruit with concentration but no heaviness. Each season brings its own balance of sunlight, temperature, and coastal influence, shaping the wine's fine structure. In 2022, that balance was ideal, producing grapes of luminous purity and detail. The Upper Terrace Pinot Noir captures the elegance of a mature vineyard in full stride. The palate unfolds in measured layers, its energy coiled beneath a luxurious texture. For fans of world-class Pinot Noir, this is the Beaux Frères bottling that defines what Oregon can achieve when nature and intent arrive in perfect harmony—secure yours today to experience it firsthand.
