Dundee Hills A.V.A. A new bottling in the Kelley Fox lineup, this is from a vineyard planted in the Dundee Hills with cuttings from Cameron’s legendary Abbey Ridge vineyard. After finishing primary fermentation in a stainless tank, the Dux was racked to neutral Burgundy barrels (228L) made from French forests for élevage and malolactic fermentation.
Its appearance is that of pale spun gold with brilliant transparency. Because of both its youth and seriousness, the nose as I type these words is restrained while also delicately perfumed with vanilla, pears and cream, along with a hint of salinity. This character continues in the mouth on a lovely frame and texture, ending with a long finish. I can’t wait to see what this Chardonnay does over time. I would suggest holding this wine for a few years before opening. There’s this alluring golden pear energy that it has.
