First of four ‘19 Mirabai purchased on BD17. This is the first red wine I’ve tasted from Kelley Fox, and boy, I am a fan! It’s on the lighter side in terms of body and concentration, but that is a big part of its charm. Floats on the palate like one of Bob Ross’s “happy, fluffy little clouds.’” Pretty, slightly sweet strawberry flavors, a bit of fungal earthy nuance and a pleasantly tart rhubarb and rose hip tea flavor on the snappy back end. Class in a glass. Excited to try a single vineyard example tomorrow night.

2017 Maresh Red Barn Blocks. More happy, puffy little clouds floating around the palate, though this brings much greater concentration and intensity. I’ve never liked the term crunchy as a descriptor, but this wine is so packed with crunchy red fruit, I felt like I could have chipped a tooth sipping it. I know it’s oxymoronic, but this wine is explosively elegant. It’ has excellent length, and If i may plagiarize a phrase commonly used by Fass Selections, it possess “insane inner mouth aromas.” Loved it.
