Foxen 2014 John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / John Sebastiano Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Foxen / Sta. Rita Hills

Fresh and tart wild cherry and crushed cranberry meet with intriguing touches of fennel frond, mustard, rose hips, potpourri and tons of garrigue on the nose of this bottling. The palate packs vibrancy into each sip, redolent with flavors of tomato leaf, cherry tomato, kalamata olive, underripe raspberry, anise, bay leaf and even earthy mugwort. It conveys an extreme sense of place.
