Foxen 2013 Block 8 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Block 8 Bien Nacido Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Foxen / Santa Maria Valley

Cinnamon spice and pomegranate fruit give a soft touch to minerally driven aromas of black slate and wet cement on the nose of this block-designated (and trademarked!) wine. The wine’s tannic grip and tartness are apparent on the texturally distinct palate before raspberry, hibiscus and rose petal flavors settle into a long, rich finish.
