RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...supple, medium-bodied and lightly textured feel to go with pretty red fruits, spice, underbrush and toasty qualities... Possessing gorgeous purity, no hard edges and a forward, precocious, yet oh so classy style...

93Wine Spectator

...pure, rich layers of wild berry, raspberry and berry jam flavors that fan out gracefully from midpalate on, ending with a chorus of berry notes on the finish, along with a firm foundation of gravelly earth.

93Wine Enthusiast

Cranberry and clove swirl into a decadently spiced nose...delivers more complexity on the palate, with touches of raspberry, allspice and cardamon.

91Vinous / IWC

Rose petals, sweet red berries, mint and cinnamon are woven together nicely...

PRODUCER

Foxen

Foxen was founded in the Santa Maria Valley, in Santa Barbara County, in 1985 when Bill Wathen and Richard Dore started making wine. The winery was named after Dore’s great-great grandfather, William Benjamin Foxen, a sea captain who arrived in Santa Barbara in the early 19th century and purchased the property where the winery now stands. Foxen owns 10 acres of vineyards and makes small amounts of Bordeaux blends, Rhone blends, Italian-inspired reds and whites, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast

Central Coast AVA is a huge wine producing area that extends from Santa Barbara County in the south to San Francisco in the north. With more than 100,000 vineyard acres, it includes parts of six counties near the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 20 smaller AVAs lie within the Central Coast AVA. Central Coast earned appellation status in 1985. Included in the appellation are parts of the counties of Contra Costa, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Nearly every grape varietal grown in California is grown somewhere in the Central Coast AVA, though Chardonnay accounts for nearly 50% of the entire wine grape crop.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
