This 2022 Kelley Fox Wines Durant Vineyard Chardonnay is an 【exceptional Oregon Chardonnay, praised for its purity, energy, and layered complexity】, often likened to a Puligny-Montrachet. Kelley Fox is recognized as one of America's greatest winegrowers. This wine, from the Dundee Hills A.V.A., undergoes fermentation and élevage in concrete amphora tanks, contributing to its unique character. It pours a pale pastel yellow with shining pale golden tones and is brilliantly transparent. The nose offers powdery minerals, delicate tropical fruits, creamy citrus, jasmine, tarragon, salty earth, and bright green apple. The palate is medium-bodied, with beautiful texture, pristine ripe fruit, a pithy quality, and a delicate arch to its rounded mouthfeel, leading to a lasting finish with a floral flourish of lemon blossoms. It boasts lovely fruit-acid balance, stone fruit, and a saline drive, making it refreshing and enjoyable now, with potential to gain weight and complexity over time.
