Beautifully made Pinot with a bouquet of subtle but delicious floral and grassy notes. The forest floor notes have intensified with the wine’s age and this is one of the most Burgundian style Pinot’s I’ve found in the new world. Kelley Fox is a rockstar.

G20; 4+8.5+4*+8*+8*+4*+4=91+; Drank side by side with 2010 Penner-Ash Pas de Nom. Immediately upon opening this was very reduced (not barnyard). After 10+ minutes the wine began to open into a Kelley Fox wine of lightness and red berry fruitedness…. Color is slightly bricking already! This is a Pinot appreciator's cheap bottle of Willamette wine. That says a lot. Good, not excellent. Allows you to appreciate the vintage and the "Valley." This continued to open and improve into a "good" wine but not an excellent wine. Again, for the price this is a great QPR, but it you are looking for a 94+ point wine in this price range, even Kelley Fox cannot deliver that!!

Needed about an hour of air, but then so silky, red-fruited and refined
