Ever since we caught on to the incredible wines from Willamette Valley rising star Kelley Fox several vintages back, we've seen an avid following develop around her ethereal, precisely crafted wines. Working with the crème de la crème of vineyard sites in Dundee Hills, she's carved out a top spot on the list of the valley's go-to boutique names. Demand is on a steady upward trajectory, but her flagship Mirabai Pinot Noir still delivers the goods for anyone interested in discovering this super-talented winemaker for the first time.
Sourced from a handful of said top Dundee Hills sites (see below), the 2024 is every bit the stylish charmer that we've come to know and love from this bottling. Easygoing yet full of character and nuance, it once again stands as one of the sharpest buys in Oregon Pinot, with a new 95-point review from Audrey Frick of Jeb Dunnuck confirming yet another hit rendition. We just scored a new parcel at exceptional pricing that allows our private clients to load up on a proven performer that will shine now and anytime in the next decade.
The 2024 Pinot Noir Mirabai shows a light reduction that will benefit from a bit of air if opened young. Pouring a jeweled ruby color, it is pure and inviting, with notes of wild raspberry, pomegranate, pressed roses, and orange peel. Medium-bodied, it has lovely finesse, silky length, dark mineral undertones, and an exceptional perfume. The 2024s are simply stunning aromatically. This is far more than a basic entry-level wine and will only improve with another 6-12 months in bottle. Drink over the coming 15 years.
95 points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck (Aug 2026)
The 2024 Pinot Noir Mirabai mixes wild strawberries and chalk dust with nuances of white pepper, pine and mint. On the palate, it is soothingly round, with a subtle citrus inflection and crisp wild berry fruit, as a bump of juicy acidity maintains wonderful energy. It tapers off with a tactile mineral crunch and gentle tannins, while leaving the mouth watering for more. The Mirabai blends old-vine fruit from four different vineyards throughout the Dundee Hills.
