My first Foxen Sea Smoke and I really liked it a lot. Lots of fruit but on the soft side and some nice earthy characteristics as well. Drank alongside an 03 Pommard and no doubting it was a Cali pinot but held its own admirably.

This is such a huge pinot - I would say that there is a lot of earthiness (forest floor) that I didn't mention in my previous notes. More fruit on the nose than on the palate. Really, really nice right now.

Cherries, red licorice, and raisins on the nose. Bright cherry, raisins, and some earthy notes on the palate. This one was silky smooth. Truly amazing mouthfeel. Drink em if you got em - I can't imagine how this one can get any better.

Sat. wine lunch. The fruit was lacking and a bit tight.
