She was deeply influenced by her dear friend and former employer, the late David Lett of The Eyrie Vineyards. David was the ultimate iconoclast who pioneered the Oregon wine industry in the 1960’s. David Lett’s influence has certainly carried over into the style of wines produced at Kelley Fox Wines. The wines are made to reflect the land, the vines, the fruit, the year, and everything else unknown and unseen that comes with those things. They are Oregon wines that display an honesty and transparency that are truly expressive of its origins and place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer annual case production is now around 5000 cases, spread out over many different wines. Having worked so long in Oregon, she has access to some of the top vineyards in the state, many of which were planted in the 70’s or early 80’s. These include the historic Maresh Vineyard, Hyland Vineyard, Freedom Hill Vineyard, Weber Vineyard, Durant Vineyard, Dux Vineyard, Carter Vineyard and Canary Hill Vineyard. All the wines are made with a deft touch so as to allow each vineyard to have its voice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKelley’s winemaking has evolved over the years to try and create the transparency she is looking for from these great sites (the details of which she chronicles on her website).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll that said, the wines are not really \"made\" at all. Kelley has no end result in mind each year for what the wines will be, but rather lets them express themselves along the way. What she is doing takes a lot of inner and outer work in responding to the essence of the fruit from each block, along with the details of the year (the weather, the stars and the planets, etc. etc.). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoin us \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSaturday, March 14 from 7:15pm - 9:00pm at Unwined\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eas Kelley Fox\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, herself,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e takes us through a selection of six wines from Kelley Fox Wines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
