Foxen Pinot Noir Julia’s Vineyard 2020
Opens with a complex, almost festive nose. Spicy and green like Christmas, layered with floral notes, baking spices, and a touch of tobacco and tomato leaf that hint at whole cluster fermentation. There’s a savory earthiness alongside cranberry and red apple skin, giving it a tertiary, slightly wild character. The palate is juicy yet grainy, silky in texture with a little funk and a vibrant cranberry lift. Intriguing and layered, it’s both expressive and structured.
