2017 Kelley Fox Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard (Dundee Hills)

 



Early drinking window has opened. Decanted to aerate for about an hour prior to rebottling for journey to restaurant. Minimal sediment. Beautifully translucent color, with signature whole cluster aromatics. An olfactory pinot noir delight.
Fox's version of Maresh Vineyard has always reminded of Dugat-Py Vosne-Romanee. Lithe, high toned cherry fruit with sort of a rhubarb-y influence on the mid-palate. Once it unfurls, there's a lot of complexity on the finish weaving in some blue fruit. I love this stuff.
Paired with an amazing mushroom torrecelli with fresh truffles .... a melange of flavors that was off the charts at Kindred restaurant.
