Tuesday, July 28, 2015 - 2011 Foxen
7200 Pajarito
53% Merlot / 47% Petite Verdot
$42 from the winery

Nose: Violets (PV), mint, leather, cedar, blueberry, mocha (as in a mocha latte), chocolate covered strawberry (any guesses on where this would come from?)

Palate: Mint, violets, blackberry, dried herbs

I liked this far better tonight than I did when I bought it at the winery. This was an incredibly aromatic wine - I assume due to the heavy use of Petite Verdot. Also, I enjoyed it better at room temperature than cellar temp. Usually as a wine warms down it tends to bring out astringencies. With this wine it seemed to bring out complexities.
