Open-textured and finely wrought, this expressive red offers generous plum and currant fruit, shaded with hints of wet earth and spice as the finish lingers against fine tannins. Drink now through 2021.

Domaine Roy et Fils began in 2012 with Carc-André Roy and Jared Etzel who continue in their fathers' footsteps whom partnered to establish Beaux Freres Winery in 1991. Over 20 years later, the two families have kept the same focus of producing top quality wine through meticulous and almost obsessive work in the estate vineyards. Domaine Roy et Fils mission is to produce wines of purity and transparency at the highest level from our land in Dundee and Carlton. The wines produced with the Domaine Roy et Fils label are made from the estates vineyards. The Maison Roy et Fils wines are produced from non-estate fruit but made with the same uncompromising process.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
