Foxen Winery - New Releases

With spring right around the corner, we wanted to let you know of a couple of new releases, special shipping offer and a few events we have coming up. As always, springtime is a perfect time to visit the winery…. the hills are green and the weather is perfect. We hope to see you in the Tasting Room very soon!

2006 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Block UU
Price: $32
To purchase: http://www.foxenvineyard.com/store.html

Another knock-out wine from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard just down the road from Foxen.

Winemaker’s Notes:
“Intense flavors of lemon drop greet the palate, followed by lush vanilla-accented smoky new oak and passionfruit, all ending with a chalky mineral finish.”
– Bill Wathen, winemaker

*92 Points-Wine Enthusiast–*Cellar Selection* This wine starts out so acidic, its almost sour. Then the intense lemondrop flavors kick in, followed by the lush vanilla-accented smoky new oak, and the chalky minerals on the finish, and suddenly, the acidity makes sense. It’s Chablisian, built for the cellar. By sometime in 2008, everything should start to meld together, and this block selection could do amazing things over the next four to six years- S.H (12/31/07)

2005 Merlot Vogelzang Vineyard
Price: $32
To purchase: http://www.foxenvineyard.com/store.html

This small production wine is available only in the tasting room. The perfect wine for your springtime Barbecues.

Winemaker’s Notes:
“Aromas of blackberry, minerals and ripe plums all greet the nose, while ripe cherry, tobacco and cigar box round out the finish” -Bill Wathen
