Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 8 saw the same upbringing but comes from a larger block. Its slightly lighter ruby/plum color gives way to a more savory, medium to full-bodied effort that offers classic notes of dried cherries, forest floor, and earthy, loamy soil notes. It too is beautifully balanced and layered, and it a terrific wine. Drink it anytime over the coming decade.

Foxen's 2017 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 8 is laced with the essence of sweet spice, star anise, blood orange and dried rose petal. In the glass, the 2017 is exotic, perfumed and full of character. The ripeness of the year is evident, and yet the 2017 remains silky, medium in body and absolutely impeccable in its balance. Oh yeah, it is delicious, too.
