Interesting #santaynez #riesling - tart citrus, golden apple, touch of petrol. Golden yellow color in the glass; lemon curd, applesauce finish on the palate. Delightful wine. — 18 days ago

Taut, focused and beautifully balanced. The 50% Syrah is lifted and fresh, while the other grapes blend seamlessly. Possibly the most underrated Rhone blend made in the US. #beckmen #santaynez — 8 years ago

This Foxen vintage is part of their Rhône style portfolio of wines. It's a co-fermented 82% Syrah and 18% Viognier blend from the Vogelzang vineyard. That unusual pairing leads to some very interesting flavors on the tongue - stone fruit and light red berry in a medium bodied juicy red wine. This one came in my December shipment and is always a wonderfully drinkable wine. ~$44 | #foxen #syrah #santaynez #vogelzang

On the eyes: Day bright crimson red, clear and medium concentration. Med stain, med tears, no gas/floc.

On the nose: A touch of violet and delicate herbaceousness rounded by pluot, mission fig, and toasty notes. Med+ alcohol.

On the tongue: Med tannin, med+ acid, med+ alcohol, med body. Floral, stewed plums, figs, and red currents with a clean oaky finish. A nice Rhône style that's a bit chewy with a lovely long finish. — 10 years ago
