At first, I was a little put off by the chalky finish. But after pairing it with farro risotto & chard, that special Foxen magic started and subtle honeydew and lime flavors began to shine. Some asparagus was in there too, making for a really nice, clean glass. — 7 years ago
Just a yummy wine. Drank with farro, pomodorini and mozzarella salad. Crisp, balanced and drinks very well with food. Nose of ripe peach, lime, pineapple. On the palate silky, bright acidity with a very nice finish. Definitely a good friendly wine — 9 years ago

Nice Paso Robles Syrah, smooth but deeply flavorful. We had it with a cumin encrusted pork loin and a fennel, fig and blood orange farro. Good pairing against the spicy pork. — 9 years ago
Somewhat grumpy when opened this morning. Another solid 2+ in the decanter helped while dinner cooked. Black cherry compote, Provençal herbs, crushed rocks, underbrush, licorice, white pepper, a kiss of something animal. Still closed but love the edgy texture the acid gives to this wine. There's this stony tannin profile that gives complexity to the wine. Paired well with farro stuffed duck, mushrooms, roasted veg — 9 years ago

Splendid! Black fig, crushed overripe blackberry, roasted black plums, stones, singed herbs de Provence, tar, tobacco, powdered sugar, floral, subtle asian spices. The whole cluster element perfectly in line with the wine, bringing lift and depth, almost highlighting the wines other dimensions. Solar, quite fresh, tannins have melted into this silky beauty. Perfect with fig and sausage stuffed quail, farro verde, favas and garden veggies — 5 years ago
