🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【A rare and exquisite Pinot Noir from self-rooted 1970 Maresh Vineyard vines, offering a captivating bouquet of Hood strawberries and a silky, unforgettable finish.】 This 2022 vintage is particularly notable as Kelley Fox will not be making wine from Maresh going forward, making it a collectible. The wine is crafted from self-rooted vines planted in 1970 in the Maresh Vineyard, located in the Dundee Hills AVA of Oregon. Only 159 cases were produced, and it was matured for 10 months in used French oak, utilizing 100% whole cluster fermentation. This Pinot Noir displays a jeweled ruby hue, shimmering ruby red, and is translucent with light blue overtones. It offers a beautifully floral and gorgeous perfume of pure, ripe raspberries, roses, incense, sweet spices, and blue floral tones. The bouquet is stunningly complex for a young wine, with scents of red plums, red and black cherries, fresh thyme, cardamom, gamebird, soil, violets, and bonfire. Expect classic Maresh Hood strawberries with the cool freshness of rain and the Pacific Ocean in the spring air, along with spices. On the palate, it is bright and medium-bodied, approachable with fine tannins, vibrant, mouthwatering acidity, and crystalline purity. It delivers silken waves of tart wild berries, taking on a sour tinge toward the close, leaving a hint of mint, and an exquisite, silky texture with an unforgettable finish. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This versatile Pinot Noir is an excellent match for roasted poultry like duck or chicken, pan-seared salmon, or earthy mushroom dishes such as truffle risotto.
