Vinous
The 2017 Chardonnay is soft, supple and absolutely delicious. Light tropical notes, lemon confit, white flowers and bright acids give the 2017 striking nuance as well as character. The Foxglove Chardonnay is built on a core of fruit from Los Alamos, with a touch of fruit from Paso Robles, vinified and aged in steel, with no malolactic fermentation. Best of all, it is a stunning value. (AG)

Pineapple, tropical fruits, white flowers, and a hint of lemon all emerge from the 2017 Foxglove Chardonnay. It's a fresh, juicy, balanced Chardonnay well worth checking out.
