I am seldom disappointed by a Foxen Pinot, and those with roots in the Solomon Hills vineyard are among my favorites. The fruit in this one is bright and reminds me of wild cherries. The acidity is pronounced, but no more than needed to achieve balance with the other components. It's good that the bottle contains a limited amount, because otherwise I could drink this for a very long time. It is drinking very well right now. I can imagine good pairings, but actually I just like to sip this one by itself as I watch a good film or my favorite British TV mystery.

Medium bodied with pleasant dark fruit flavors. Better served with a slight chill because its tannins are still quite present. Picked this one up on sale and wish I'd bought more.

Peterfromthepan has this exactly right. It is remarkably green and peppery. There is no joy in it for me.
