Kelley Fox Carter Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
$250.00 inc. GST
From 40-year-old self-rooted vines that are organically farmed, the 2021 Pinot Noir Carter Vineyard is a ripe ruby hue and offers notes of grenadine, candied roses, and cinnamon. Its tannins are ripe and fine, and it fills the palate with ripe red fruit, apricot, and notes of crushed stone along with mouthwatering salinity.
Description
The wines are made to reflect the land, the vines, the fruit of the vines, the year, and everything else unknown and unseen that comes with those things. They are Oregon wines, and hopefully, they are wines specifically of their vineyards. That said, the wines are not really “made” at all. I am not Pygmalion, imposing my idea of what they should be onto them. It is a vulnerable approach, but to me, it’s how this work becomes non-hierarchical and respecting life. What I am doing-and it still takes a lot of inner and outer work-and being in the silence- is responding to the essence of the fruit from each block, which I hope is carrying the essence of the earth that bore it, along with the details of the year (the weather, the stars, and the planets, etc. etc.). As I age having worked like this for so long, I feel profound gratitude to be on this walk. Kelley Fox

Rated : 96 Points Gary Walsh – The Winefront
Eola-Amity Hills A.V.A Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine
Strawberry, iron filings/ozone, subtle earthiness, flowers and spice. A delicate thing we have here, acid driven, all river pebble and rain-washed acidity, a watercolour wine of intricacy and nuance, with a bright ripe strawberry finish of excellent length. Delightful. Alcohol : 13%

The 2021 is a transparent, deep red that is youthful with blue notes. The lush, fresh nose has rich red fruits, subtle spices, and minerals. In the mouth there is a powerful presence- a stillness- a restraint and a waiting- that is weightless. It’s full of strawberries and other berries (like Marionberries). This wine feels alive and ineffably beautiful. (Kelley Fox)
