Reviewed July 2015Delicious aromas of ripe cherry pie and black cardamom are quite sexy. The palate is far more complicated and layered, with the tartness of plum skins, richness of strawberry, balsamic reduction and spiciness of black sage. (MK)

Int'l Wine Cellar
(made from fruit grown in the Bien Nacido, Riverbench and Solomon Hills vineyards; no new oak): Bright red. Highly perfumed scents of spicy redcurrant, raspberry, fresh flowers and smoky minerals. Juicy red berry flavors pack a solid punch but come off as lithe. Brisk red berry skin and white pepper qualities dominate a long, lively finish firmed by dusty tannins. (JR)

Vinous
The 2013 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley is a blend of fruit from Solomon Hills, Bien Nacido and Riverbench. Dried cherry, flowers, tobacco, cedar and leather are some of the signatures that flesh out. The slightly dried fruit and mid-weight structure both suggest the 2013 is best enjoyed within the next few years. This is a solid appellation level Pinot from Foxen. (AG)

Wine Spectator
Pleasantly balanced and easy to drink, but not simple. The flavors and profile are intense and persistent. (Web Only-2016) (JL)
Notes
The team behind Foxen vineyards have found a recipe for success: take top-notch fruit from great vineyards, don't mess with it, and then sell it at an affordable price.
