2017 Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir
Aromas of wild strawberry, cherry, rose petals, and baking spices rise vibrantly from the glass. Red fruits like raspberry and pomegranate are accented by peppery spice in the glass, with a well-balanced, long finish.


James MacPhail's Notes
Named for the family of foxes that inhabit this vineyard in the Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley AVA, Fox Den Vineyard typically sees moderate temperatures but heavy overnight fog, which brings out all of the luscious fruit flavors, warming spice rack, and a grounding earthiness in the resulting wine.
