2009 Kelley Fox Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard (Dundee Hills)

I'm guessing whole cluster on this wine. ABV in the 14% range. Pop and pour.  Very unique old world style.  Reminds me of Dugat-Py village level burgundy. Most certainly adhering to the David Lett style of Oregon pinot noir. Sourced from 40 year old vines planted to Wädenswil clone.

Tart red raspberry (gooseberry level of piquancy).  It took a full 3 hours for this one to fully come together and reveal a most savory character with tasty sous bois and clove. 

Grows on you as it unwinds, ultimately becoming irresistible as it evolves and defies usual new world pinot noir expectations ...
