Foxen 2014 Fe Ciega Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Fe Ciega Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Foxen / Sta. Rita Hills

Reserved on the nose, this bottling by Billy Wathen and Dick Dore from their friend Rick Longoria’s vineyard offers cranberry, fennel, lavender and a touch of smoke on the nose. It’s delicate in its approach, with tightly woven strawberry, red plum and cranberry fruit lifted by dried sagebrush and more of that wildfire smoke.
