This is always one of the best Chenin Blancs in California, and Foxen’s 2010 is one of their best ever. With plenty of new French oak and some serious weight and depth, it has the texture of Chardonnay, and even some of the tropical fruit. But there’s a white flower and green apple note that’s unique, as well as brisk, bright acidity. S.H.
Wall Street Journal-Lettie Teague, July 14, 2011
"And as of this week, I’ve added a third: the 2010 Ernesto Wickenden Old Vines Chenin Blanc from Foxen Winery in Santa Barbara. Bright and lively, with notes of pear and a long, clean minerally finish, the Foxen was a lovely discovery and an excellent buy. Alas there’s not much around. According to Foxen, just over 1,000 cases were produced. Fellow Chenin lovers might want to act soon"

There’s no oak on this Chardonnay, but you won’t miss it at all. It’s so decadent in long hangtime pineapple, tangerine, mango and spice flavors, superripe and just delicious. The alcohol is fairly high, but that’s the price of all this richness. — S.H.

Winemaker's Notes:
The Tinaquiac Vineyard, planted by Dick and me in 1989, is a wonder in its own right. These 23 year-old vines grow without irrigation, drinking only what Mother Nature supplies as rainfall each year. We actually fine tune the crop load each Summer to correspond to the Winter rainfall. With average rainfall (15 inches) in 2009/2010, we had an average crop of 1.2 tons per acre on the Wente Clone and 2.4 tons per acre on the Clone 4, producing 560 cases of wine. This translates out to 600 milliliters of wine per vine, which is less than a bottle. How is that for concentration? This wine has something for everybody’s taste: medium bodied with loads of tropical fruit (pineapple/guava), ample natural acidity, and a kiss of vanilla from 20% new French oak. I’d recommend matching it with lobster rolls, lobster bisque, bacon wrapped diver scallops, or grilled trout stuffed with roasted pineapple and macadamia nuts. Drink now through 2015. |
