NC- 2019 Foxen Pinot Noir

Bill Wathen and Dick Dore embarked on their winemaking journey in 1985, co-founding Foxen Winery & Vineyard on the historic Rancho Tinaquaic in northern Santa Barbara County. Throughout the years, their unwavering commitment has centered on crafting exceptionally limited-production, sustainably-farmed wines that accentuate the unique character of each vineyard, all achieved through a "minimalist" winemaking philosophy.

Nestled on the historic Rancho Tinaquaic, Foxen is a testament to the region's rich history, boasting a solar-powered winery, a charming tasting room, and the iconic 7200 "shack." The legacy of Captain Foxen lives on through the distinctive wines and enduring commitment to sustainable, vineyard-centric winemaking embraced by Bill Wathen and Dick Dore.

"Leading off the reds, the 2019 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley is a smoking good appellation Pinot Noir well worth seeking out. Ripe red and blackberry fruits, peppery herbs, flowers, and sous bois all show on the nose, and it’s nicely textured, fruit-forward, and ready to go. It’s going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 3-5 years."
