Kelley Fox Albarino
Come away with me and I will write you a song
-Norah Jones
Prepare to be carried away with an Oregan Albariño from artisanal winemaker Kelley Fox. Her wines always reflect equally the land, the grape, the vintage and everything that encompasses that bottle. She follows her instinct each and every year and flows with what’s given. Using partial whole bunch fermentation for her parcels for maximum fruit expression. . One of the very few plots of Albariño in Oregon Kelley lives to push the limits through her experimental winemaking and always succeeds tenfold.

Pours into the glass a light yellow hue. Fresh sea breeze, the ripest nectarine and peaches you can imagine, pink grapefruit and apple blossom, acid minerality, yeasty ripeness. The ripe tropical fruit greets you on the palate with a briny minerality, white peach and yellow plum with a slight plum skin grip at the end. An elegant lightness and so graceful.
