The wine has terrific tension and definition to the tannins. Tightly wound, it reveals notes of orange zest, clove, cranberry, and darker berries. Medium-bodied, it has great angularity, mouthwatering length, and a beautifully structured finish. It's one to seek out and should easily age another 20 years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023 vintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points Jeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeeper ruby in color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Stater Vineyard offers notes of cherry cordial, spice, lavender, and dark stones. The palate exhibits a peppery lift and a broader-shouldered structure, complemented by ripe tannins and vibrant acidity. Kelley notes that this biodynamically farmed site evolved into something deeper in the cellar, where initially it looked like it would take on the gossamer-like qualities of Maresh. Either way, it’s a gorgeous wine that offers an excellent contrast to the range. Drink 2025-2045.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKelley Fox: The 2023 is medium-dark red with youthful brilliance, transparency, and lovely plays of light. The gorgeous nose is filled with ripe, red berries and cherries with minerals and spices. Already, just on the nose, there is beautiful depth that continues in the mouth on a detailed frame of serious structure. This is a super-focused, high-relief Pinot that reminds me of how high pixels give more depth and richness to an image. There are some very subtle, delicious savory components that balance the fruit. It has nice acidity and a long, clean, silky finish that delivers the details to the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 is my first year of leasing Stater Vineyard, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s situated directly between The Eyrie Vineyards estate vineyard and Durant Vineyard: talk about provenance! As stated on the back label, “Sylvia Stater and her late husband, Wayne Stater, whose family roots have been in Oregon for generations, founded this enchanting little vineyard in an area of Dundee that has long been considered by many to be hallowed ground for Pinot noir. Encircled by a towering grove of cedars, firs and other mixed trees and bathed in birdsong, there’s something that feels magical about it. I love being there.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelley Fox","offers":[{"title":"Regular Price","offer_id":47516049801467,"sku":null,"price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Build a Case","offer_id":47516049834235,"sku":null,"price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5679\/files\/p_32976d49-73d4-46c0-a669-efcd8bfc7609.jpg?v=1757616115","url":"https:\/\/northwest-wine.com\/products\/kelley-fox-stater-vineyard-pinot-noir","provider":"Avalon Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
