Smells like ripe blackberry bramble.
Tastes of the bramble as well. Cran Pom pops, and offers a very long lovely finish. Tart fruit with high acid lingers for a very long time.
A nice wine to enjoy the last of the summer days. — 7 years ago

The first sip will make you think this wine is oxidized but with 10 mins of air it tightens up and seems to get greener in color. An outstanding value for those who dig premier cru Chablis — 6 years ago

100% Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir sourced from a 1/3 acre experimental block planted in 2000 at the northern end of the vineyard with a mix of Dijon, Pommard, and Waldenswil clones. Dry farmed and wild yeast fermented with élevage in 1/3 new French oak. 13% ABV. — 7 years ago

A hell of a wine. Amazingly deep jewel tone for how clear it is. The flavor has cranberries, rosehips, and bitter orange and a slight lemon finish, giving it an almost Campari-like quality in wine form. Beauty and substance. — 8 years ago

The nose is definitely a 98, but it needs years to drink,
Parkers 98 point review as follows,

The aromas of the 2019 Chardonnay Dux Vineyard are alluring and savory, with ripe peach layers, beeswax, roasted almonds and pastry. The palate has a singular satiny texture and impressive concentration, enlivened by tangy acidity and streaks of graphite and finishing with tremendous length and energy. Wow!

Tan Fruit is a brand-new project from Jim Maresh, proprietor of his family winery, Arterberry Maresh, and the winemaker behind some of the most exciting Chardonnays in the Willamette Valley today. Much of the fruit for the Arterberry Maresh wines are sourced from older estate vines, and very few cases are made each year. In 2019, Maresh founded Tan Fruit, for which he will purchase fruit. "I hear about fruit for sale that I'd love to play with," he explains. "It doesn't work for Arterberry, but for Tan Fruit, there are no rules." He made six cuvées this initial vintage, and unsurprisingly, they are some of the best Chardonnays of 2019. The first set of Tan Fruit wines will be released sometime in 2022, and I hope to be first to sign up for this mailing list! — 4 years ago

9.0

From Maresh vineyard planted over 45 years ago. Ruby with berry fruit and sweet nutty spice aromas. On the palate ripe strawberry and cherry fruit flavors with tea and licorice notes, lively acidity adding herb spices. Long finish, dry tannins that need some time, ending with bright mineral tones. Nice, but put this one in the cellar for a few years. Small production. BIGGEST FLAW: CORK IS EXPOSED AND NOT PROTECTED. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

Dark cherry and a dash of herbs, with a savory middle and finish, excellent concentration, and terrific with a duck breast with a beet sauce. — 7 years ago
