Kelley Fox 2021 Carter Vineyard Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills

Carter Vineyard is located in the southwest end of the Eola-Amity Hills A.V.A. and consists of volcanic jory soils with south-facing exposure. The grapes are fermented with about 40% whole clusters and spend ten months in neutral French oak. There's slightly more density here compared to the Weber Pinot, but it's still delicate and pretty with nice tension and a mineral core. Delicious and approachable now, it would be fascinating to see how this develops over the next five to ten years if you can manage to keep some around.
