  Foxen Pinot Noir Block 8 2016, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley

  Add to cart

  $68.00

  Rich nose; smooth and silky juicy bing cherries and raspberry; mellow, lush and ripe with tangy acidity and lovely structure; elegant, long and racy with a long, pure finish. An incredible, profound Pinot Noir, Foxen's 2016 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 8 was completely destemmed and aged 17 months in 50% new French oak. Its deep ruby color is followed by sensational notes of sweet cherries, black raspberries, crushed flowers and a touch of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multi-dimensional, with seamless texture, this is California Pinot Noir at its finest. Drink it any time over the coming 7-8 years. “A powerful, structured wine, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 8 is literally bursting at the seams with explosive energy. A host of savory herbs, smoke, licorice and tobacco open up in the glass, but this is a wine to put a way for a few years, as the elements still need time to come together. The firm, grippy finish and the wine's overall delineation are both striking.” — Antonio Galloni – 95 points

  The 2014 Pinot Noir Nielson Vineyard, was completely destemmed and aged 16 months in 40% new French oak. Still showing its oak elevage, with lots of caramelized cherry, black raspberry, sweet oak and spice, it hits the palate with a seamless, silky, gorgeously pure texture that carries plenty of fruit and finishes clean and dry, with notable tannic grip. Give it a year or two in the cellar to integrate its oak and drink bottles through 2021.

  Michaud Pinot Noir 2015, Chalone

  Add to cart

  $44.00

  It never ceases to amaze us how great the Michaud Pinot Noir is, and the 2016 is no exception. The 2016 has elegant, concentrated flavors complemented by the hallmark minerality of the granite and limestone soil found in the Chalone Appellation. The five Dijon selections provide vividly clear red and black fruit flavors, and the four heritage selections provide complex, wild and spicy characteristics. In order to enhance the expression of the unique terroir, the wine was fermented with native yeast and is unfilered and unfined. The aromas of the Michaud Pinot Noir 2015, Chalone transport you back to nature with aromas of wild berries, forest floor and stone. We love it with full flavored fish – ahi, salmon, steel head, or try with chicken or steak!
