Foxen's 2017 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 8 is laced with the essence of sweet spice, star anise, blood orange and dried rose petal. In the glass, the 2017 is exotic, perfumed and full of character. The ripeness of the year is evident, and yet the 2017 remains silky, medium in body and absolutely impeccable in its balance.
