WINE DESCRIPTION
Foxen Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir is a captivating red wine produced by the acclaimed Foxen Winery, situated in the Santa Maria Valley of California. This wine is sourced from Julia's Vineyard, renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyard's location in the cooler climate of Santa Maria Valley, influenced by ocean breezes and fog, creates an ideal environment for Pinot Noir, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Foxen's approach to winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention and a deep respect for the fruit, aiming to showcase the unique characteristics of the vineyard. This results in a Pinot Noir that is not only a true representation of its origin but also a reflection of Foxen's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Foxen Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of the varietal.On the nose, it has aromatics of cherry, raspberry and an earthy complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with a well-integrated structure and silky tannins. Flavors of ripe black cherry, cranberry, earth and a hint of spice lead to a long, pleasant finish. Enjoy this complex and delicious Pinot Noir now or cellar it for future enjoyment.

ORIGINS
Winery: Foxen
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
