A transparent red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard Limnal is Kelley’s most prized block, just three rows planted in 1970 beside a black walnut grove. Wild strawberries, hibiscus, grapefruit, and red flowers lead to a lifted, delicate wine with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a citrus-driven finish. The 2023 was her final vintage of this bottling. Drink over the next 20 years.

Remarkably fresh and perfumed in the glass, the 2023 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard Liminal wafts up with a collage of dried herbs, dusty earth, wildflowers and stemmed strawberries. This wine is a model of balance, seamless and silken in form with an energetic, lively core that offsets its crisp wild berry fruits, all elevated by tantalizing acidity. Citrus and spicy notes saturate the palate, along with a nervous feel that slowly recedes into a lingering harmonious inner sweetness. The 2023 is pure magic. Sadly, this will be the last vintage of Maresh from Kelley Fox.
