Overripe Apple, floral, waxy and a little petrol on the nose. Apple sauce, (twizzler?), and mealy pear on the palate. Think it was picked really ripe.

Second Foxen wine of the weekend. 2014 is the last bottling of Toasted Rope and it’s going out strong. Definitely a lighter style Syrah, lacking some of the meaty heft that I like, but very plush and smooth overall.

Terrific, but probably a few years past peak.

This is Foxen's version of a Côte Rotie, blended with a touch of Viognier. I love it!

Excellent Syrah- strong nose, heavier body. Will pair with lots of foods.
