The 2014 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir was sourced from Solomon Hills, Bien Nacido and River Bench Vineyards. This wine was aged for 9 months in varying aged French oak. This lovely wine begins with aromatics of ripe cherry, red raspberry, orange rind and rose petal accents. This has a wonderful round texture, as the wine glides effortlessly through the mid-palate. There are dense flavors of red cherries, red raspberry, cola and spice box accents which continue to build as this leads up to the sleek finish. A complete wine, this is another outstanding showing from Foxen in this vintage. (Best 2017-2027) - August, 2017 (OB)
