Foxen 2006 Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, CA
Holy Virgin Mary, this is fountain head pinot noir! In a lowly little shack, along a dusty road in “Santa Maria” this savior was born where horses, donkeys and doves foretold the coming. Risqué journeyed through many days and nights via German camel seeking out, beneath the star, this humble but sacred place to worship this divine effluence. Risqué cannot figure why the original account did not bring Gold, Frankincense, Myrrh and Foxen Pinot Noir.
This leggy medium-bodied liquid is a gift of royal purple garnet. The virgin pour from the bottle expose hints of sophisticated terroir quickly dissipating in the glass unveiling beautiful pinot fruit with a lovely wild shitake mushroom earthiness, cola, dried strawberries and cherries. Slipping across the tongue like a satin swath is huge pinot fruit coated in the exotic spices of cinnamon and cardamon, more cola and root beer with raspberries and cherries providing the ultimate incarnation of Pinot Noir.
May the Virgin of Foxen be with you! Hail Marys full of…Wine.
