Note di degustazione
The 2009 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard comes across as rough, angular and lacking varietal definition. There is plenty of good depth in the glass, but not a lot of personality. The 2009 finishes with elements of greenness and strident tannins. Foxen does so many things so well, but Cabernet Franc does not appear to be one of them.

The 2009 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard comes across as rough, angular and lacking varietal definition. There is plenty of good depth in the glass, but not a lot of personality. The 2009 finishes with elements of greenness and strident tannins. Foxen does so many things so well, but Cabernet Franc does not appear to be one of them. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. 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, while the 2010 Syrahs can’t quite match the superb 2009s. The 2010 Pinots in particular are well worth the effort of tracking down. Like all of the Foxen reds, they see minimal racking and are bottled without fining or filtration. Tel. (805) 937-4251
