Black cherry, red current and baking spices on the palate. Medium bodied wine that is truly New World. There are some subtleties on the bouquet and palate that really grow on you. The tannins were all smoothed out.

Dec 31st, 2022This 2019 was stunning at Foxen’s 7600 facilty a few weeks ago. Having it tonight with Montreal seasoned steak tips but almost can’t eat because each sip is so intriguing. Deeply macerated blueberries and blackberries, earth bracken notes. Fruit is surrounded by herbs and savory spices. Soft tannins but structured and firm. Premier cru level . Hard to imagine a better house than Foxen ( maybe Melville) for the greatest USA Pinots. True Burgundy rivals., while retaining new world fruit. Will probably become an evanescent spice box in 10 years. Gorgeous now. Will try to wait on a bottle to see how it evolves.

Oct 10th, 20222018 vintage. Leaner and meaner than the last visit 11.18.21. Dusty sandalwood nose. Bright cherry and muted plum framed by a light/medium body. Angular but still fantastic.

May 18th, 2020Dark, rich, full mouth-feel... this voluptuous Pinot is chock full full of fruit. Imagine freshly picked raspberries rinsing in a forest stream and you get a good idea of the fragrant nose. Tannins and alcohol are big, but rounded off so the wine goes down easy.
