Foxen Block UU-Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

$33.99

New Chardonnay release from Foxen, one of the leading wineries of California's Central Coast.  Only 800 cases were made - hurry! 92 Points Robert Parker:  "A wine of significant potential, the Chardonnay Bien Nacido Block UU (from tank) is cool and beautifully focused, with lovely purity in its aromas and flavors. Flowers, lemon peel, crushed rocks and spices are layered into the energetic, polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016...I always look forward to tasting the Foxen wines, as they are loaded with class and personality across the board. The Chardonnays and the Pinots are the highlights among this set of new releases,"

Quite a lot of oak. Vanilla, baked apple, nutty and nice acid. Lots of oak, but was tamed with food.

Really lovely Chardonnay at this price point. Lighter in style than your average California Chard.

Good solid chardonnay enjoyed this with grilled scallops and halibut. Flavors of lemongrass and cedar.

As a member of Foxen's wine club, it's always a welcomed sight when a shipment arrives! This came in my last shipment, and I couldn't resist. Big tropical fruit that's not too buttery or oaky with great balance make this Chardonnay a winner. ~$32 | #foxen #santamariavalley #chardonnay On the eyes: Clear Star Bright Med Straw-Yellow Light Stain, Med Tears No Gas/Floc On the nose: Powerful Tropical fruit Citrus Peel and Salt Mineralty, French Oak Med Alcohol On the tongue: Sweet, Med Tannin Med Acid, Med Alcohol Med Round Body Honey soaked Pineapple Hint of Citrus and Herb Good Balance, Med+ Finish Good Complexity
