Since its inception, Beaux Freres has become synonymous with top-notch Oregon Pinot Noir. Located on 88 acres atop Ribbon Ridge in the Yahmill County region of the Willamette Valley, the winery was founded by Michael Etzel and his brother-in-law (“beaux freres”) wine critic Robert Parker, Jr. in the early 1990s. Their philosophy has been simple and promotes Old World, hand-crafted techniques with minimal intervention that allow the unique features of the terroir and each vintage to be the guiding stars. The result? Wines of true class and elegance that express the soul of the region as they evolve and unfold over the coming 10+ years, or more.

When the first few blocks were planted in 1988, no one could have predicted the consistent magic that would spring forth for decades to come. The old 1940s dairy pasture is now fully transformed to 25 acres of Pinot Noir vines whose forest perimeter creates a nearly mystical landscape.

"The resulting wines are brilliant. They offer great concentration, wonderful lift and freshness and such fine tannins… the top producers have made wonderfully collectable wines that will age 15 to 20 years. A five-star vintage for the Willamette Valley.” - Decanter on the 2021 vintage
