Foxen 2011 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / La Encantada Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Foxen / Sta. Rita Hills

There’s a style to this Pinot that takes some understanding to appreciate. Its cranberry, pomegranate and rhubarb flavors are complex, highlighted by brisk acidity and minerals. The result is an elusive wine, low in earthy elements and immensely satisfying. This is one for the cellar. Best after 2019.
