Goedhuis, September 2022
With a nose reminiscent of a good Nuits St Georges from a warm vintage, this has notes of pungent bruised raspberry, ripe cranberry and hints of strawberry leaf coming from the whole bunch vinification. The palate has a really supple, gentle mouthfeel that’s true to the nose on flavours, backed by fresh acidity, and well-integrated ripe tannins. Drink 2022-2039

Vinous, June 2022, Score: 95
Vivid ruby. Expansive red and blue fruit aromas show fine definition, complemented by succulent floral, exotic spices and mineral notes that build with air. Sappy, appealingly sweet and energetic in style, offering boysenberry, Chambord, candied rose and five-spice powder flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. The floral note repeats emphatically on the impressively long finish, which features polished tannins and reverberating red fruit character

Decanter, June 2022, Score: 94
From its origin as a Shea Vineyard bottling, Belle Soeur has transitioned to a blend fruit from the Beaux Freres, Upper Terrace, and Sequitur, all farmed by Mike Etzel. Today the grapes are picked earlier, and the extraction managed more gently to give a classic red fruit nose with spice on the attack and plenty of freshness and grippy tannins on the palate. There is still plenty of extract, though, and this lingers persistently on the finish. - Georgina Hindle
Region
Oregon
Oregon forms part of the Pacific Northwest area of the USA, lying between California and Washington state. Oregon's vines are directly exposed to the marine airflow of the Pacific Ocean, givingmilder winters but cooler and wetter summers than Washington, which has a strong continental climate. The wine industry in Oregon dates back to 1854 when the first vinifera vines were planted. However it wasn't until the 1960s that Pinot Noir was first planted, which was soon to become therising star of Oregon. Oregon's overnight fame came in 1979 when David Lett (known as ‘Papa Pinot')of the Eyrie Vineyard entered his 1975 Pinot Noir into a blind tasting organised by Robert Drouhin. He came second after Drouhin's 1959 Chambolle-Musigny and ahead of Drouhin's 1961 Clos-de-Bèze! NowOregon's reputation is for quality Pinot Noir (great depth and complexity) and Pinot Gris (a crisp,dry style with more flesh than Pinot Grigio).
