Lovely light purple color, translucent. Earthy, raspberry aroma. Light and delicate on the palate with a burst of strawberry on the front of the palate. Some cherry and moist earth follows. Fine tannins, light, dancing acidity, excellent balance. Finishes light and lovely, strawberry and the barest hint of spice. A pretty wine. Ready now. Drink next 3 to 4 years.

Transparent cherry red. Fragrant nose of moist earth and strawberry. Delicate but precise on the palate, earth, strawberry, hint of raspberry, cherry. Fine tannins, sharp acidity, excellent balance. Finishes long and delicate with strawberry notes. Lovely minerality. Drink next 3 years.

Very pretty, delicate expression of this earthy fruit that Kelley Fox knows so well. I'm sad to see it leaving her portfolio of Pinots. Like practically all of her Pinots, this one has the feel of something ready to drink but the tension of fruit and acid intimates it can waft forward for many years.

Translucent strawberry red. Moist earth and strawberry aromas. Delicate but with weight on the palate. Strawberries, cherries, hint of spice. Fine tannins, lovely acidity, excellent balance. Picks up weight with air. Nice minerality. Finishes long, delicate and red-fruited. Drink next 4 to 5 years. Delicate and lovely.

Accidentally opened my last bottle. Darker in color than most KF wines but a pretty, pure, and vibrant crimson. Lovely aromatics. Definitely with stem inclusion influence on nose along with sea breeze and floral notes. Palate shows some density, mostly black cherry character but well balanced and fresh. Wish there was more complexity on the finish but that’s a limit quibble for an excellent Pinot that seems transparent to place.
