The 2022 Pinot Noir Canary Hill Vineyard is a bright ruby hue and offers more cherry fruit as well as notes of fresh roses, rocky stones, and gravelly earth. It’s linear but so refined on the palate, with a clean and even feel, it is almost Volnay-like. Drink it over the next 15 years.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Canary Hill Vineyard comes from Pommard vines planted in 1995, and the wine was matured for 10 months in used French barrels. It has generous, layered scents of cranberry, blueberry, sage, Angostura bitters and woodsy undertones. The medium-bodied palate offers just as many layers. It’s structured by finely astringent tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it has a very long, flavorful finish. 224 cases produced.

The Canary Hill Vineyard bottling of pinot noir is one of Kelley Fox’s smallest cuvées, as well as one of her finest. These vines were planted in 1995 and have crafted a supremely elegant rendition of the vintage in 2022, coming in at 12.5 percent octane this year and delivering an aromatically stunning bouquet of sweet dark berries, pomegranate, raw cocoa, black tea, a gorgeous base of soil tones, gently savory notes of fresh bay, currant leaf and tarragon, woodsmoke and just a hint of cedar from the older casks in which the wine was raised. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and supremely elegant in profile, with a lovely core of black fruit, marvelous soil inflection, fine-grained tannins, sound acids and a very long, impeccably balanced and very, very complex finish. The backend lift here is remarkable.
