2020 Pinot Noir, Fe Ciega Vineyard

"Foxen wines from the Sta. Rita Hills are always outstanding and this is now exception. Stunningly beautiful in the glass, featuring a bright neon ruby core with a blue and pink rim. The Fe Ciega is aged for 16 months in just 22% new French oak barrels and presents outstanding aromas of red raspberry, wild huckleberry, purple wildflowers, and an incredible expression of herbs that just spill from the glass. The palate is lush, clean, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Made more in a richer style but don’t let that deter you from seeking out a bottle and enjoying this wine over the next 8-10 years. Just 224 cases were made. Highly recommended and editor’s choice." International Wine Report, 96 Points

"Candied cherries, raspberries, sappy flowers, and underbrush notes emerge from the 2020 Pinot Noir Fe Ciega Vineyard, a pure, elegant, incredibly precise release from this team that has remarkable balance and length. It's unquestionably one of the standouts in the lineup, and I'd be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming decade." JebDunnuck.com, 95 Points

"The 2020 Pinot Noir Fe Ciega Vineyard is one of the highlights in this range from Foxen.  Dark plum, mocha, licorice, spice, menthol and cloves meld together effortlessly.  The 2020 is quite powerful and deep, withsuperb polish and exceptional balance.  The pedigree of this site comes through loud and clear.  Whatever the vagaries of the growinf season, everything apparently workd in 2020 at Fe Ciega."
