Beaux Freres Zena Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014 (750ML)

93 WS / 93 AG

93 Points Wine Spectator: Supple, open-textured and expressive, layering blueberry, plum and savory flavors into a harmonious whole, floating through a long finish against powdery tannins.  Has presence and depth.  Best from 2018 through 2024.

93 Points Vinous Media: Brilliant ruby-red.  Ripe, spice-tinged blackberry, vanilla and sassafras on the deeply perfumed, expansive nose.  intense dark berry liqueur flavors are lifted and sharpened by smoky minerality and pick up a five-spice powder quality with aeration.  Concentrated as well as energetic and focused, finishing with impressive length and sexy notes of candied violet and smoky spices.  -Antonio Galloni

"Aromas of nutmeg and Asian five spice stitched together with black currant and wet granite and a palate that almost shimmers with lively acidity." -Winery
