93 points/'Editors' Choice,' Matt Kettmann (Wine Enthusiast): "This tantalizing bottling starts with a steely focus on the nose of lime pith, wet rocks and apple tonic. The tightly woven palate pops with flavors of chalk, crisp Asian pear and lime peel, riding a zesty acidity deep into the finish. (Jul 2022)"
Foxen’s Chenin Blanc comes from one of the oldest plots of Chenin Blanc in the United States, the Ernesto Wickenden vineyard, planted in 1966. Located inside the Santa Maria Valley AVA, the vineyard benefits from the cool air that funnels in from the Pacific Ocean to the sun-drenched hillsides, giving a much-needed cooling effect. This climate allows for optimum ripeness with crisp acidity that’s palpable in this exceptional wine. Ernesto Wickenden’s old vines produce low yields of highly concentrated grapes adding greater complexity and a rich texture, commingled with honey, tropical fruits, and floral aromas.
