Loves 2009 Oregon Pinot

Yesterday's Wine Spectator's Insider featured 2009 Oregon Pinot noir. They gave glowing reviews to some of our favorites -- Beaux Freres -- and lavished a big 94 on an unknown 2008 -- Verve's Stoller Vineyard.
Check out the highlights!.

Wine Spectator 94 Points
"HOT WINE"

Beaux Freres
Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge The Beaux Freres Vineyard 2009

$66.98 in any 12 bottle order
$74.42 retail

Back on June 7th, we emailed you recommending this wine as "the good stuff." Wine Spectator agrees.

Wine Spectator - "Light and spicy, with pretty red berry and cinnamon flavors that linger against refined tannins. The flavors expand with each sip, picking up extra mineral and earth nuances, as the finish sails on unabated. It's the length that makes this special. Drink now through 2019." H.S.
