2017. Floral bouquet on the nose, punch of cherry cola. Black Forest gateau with kirsch and old leather. Herbal poultry blend on the finish. Rich and complex. Unami. — 2 months ago

2021 vintage. Medium body. Plenty of earthiness and frontal fruity chunk that both set the tone and hung out all day. Foundation good but back-end finish, while definitely there, lacking the oomph that other vintage/versions have thrust out there. Vineyard getting replanted currently and will be completely out of the Foxen pantheon in the near future. Other (SRH) vineyards stepping up and in. 09.03.25. — 2 months ago
What do you pair with Falafel & Hummus? A delicious Sta. Rita Hills Pinot.. Fruit, herbal vibes with a smooth mid-palate finish. — a day ago

Opaque ruby color with a thin garnet rim. Aromas of forest floor, bacon fat, fresh rosemary and mint, wet soil and black fruit. Flavors of black olive tapenade, tobacco, smoked meat, red, blue and black berries and roasted herbs. Hint of black pepper and salt on the long (and pleasantly sour) finish. Soft tannins and very bright acidity. Medium bodied and incredibly tertiary and savory. Nicely aged and concentrated. Very interesting and unique expression of the varietal. — 10 days ago
