Exceptional nose of dark cherry, spice and cedar. Taste blossoms in the mouth with dark fruits and hints of spice. Long finish. Got better after being open for a couple hours. Classic Santa Maria Pinot. — 12 years ago

As a member of Foxen's wine club, it's always a welcomed sight when a shipment arrives! This came in my last shipment, and I couldn't resist. Big tropical fruit that's not too buttery or oaky with great balance make this Chardonnay a winner. ~$32 | #foxen #santamariavalley #chardonnay

Earthy aromas of cherry and spice. Smooth flavors of raspberry and cola with long finish. Found this in the clearance bin for half price. Score! — 11 years ago
A great Sauvignon Blanc from a boutique winery out of Santa Maria (Presqu'ile). Partly Presqu'ile and Riverbench vineyards this wine shows it's uniqueness with intriguing hints of jalapeño. Seven months in neutral oak, stainless steel and concrete egg. — 12 years ago
Really nice Pinot. Earthy and rich in the nose, fruity and floral on the tongue. A little barnyard but not too much. Well rounded and very drinkable. Enjoyable with cheese and crackers. Definitely would drink again. Maureen says "too bad it's gone." — 11 years ago
