2005 FOXEN SEA SMOKE VINEYARD STA. RITA HILLS PINOT NOIR- this was heavily extracted, powerful juice with young and vibrant super ripe dark fruit dominating; it had lively tannins and some heat which eased up after some time in the glass; in fact, after a few minutes, it got much less intense and moved into a more palatable state.

Prime drinking window. the wine is superbly put together with lovely fruit and structure. No point in aging this anymore so enjoy with salmon or pork with a fruity sauce.

lovely SB pinot. With vineyard is of course amazing. The wine has a flavor profile typical of the Santa Rita Hills. Bright and crisp. The wine is in the perfect drinking window.... enjoy.

Awesome. Everything a Pinot should be. Earth, fruit, balance. If you have one of these in your cellar, we are green with envy. Enjoy!

Beautiful. Not for those looking for a Burgundian Pinot,
but a fantastic Central Coast Pinot.
