Foxen 2014 Melville Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

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

Quite light in the glass, this bottling offers a strongly sage-driven nose bolstered by light licorice and chipped slate that’s laced through the tangy cranberry and pretty red-cherry aromas. It’s easy and light on the sip but with a full flavor profile, from pomegranate to snappy raspberry, thyme, oregano, dill and tons of pepper.
