The 2017 Foxglove Pinot Noir Central Coast is made from pinot noir clones pommard and 777 sourced from a hillside vineyard in Santa Barbara County, 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean at 600 feet elevation that has sandy, loamy soil. Medium-bodied, it has aromas of brambly black cherries that dominate on the palate. These cherry characters are flanked by subtle notes of cola, baking spice, tobacco, and herbs. Tannins are soft and the finish is long.
Winemakers Jim and Bob Varner are passionate about their craft and know that the secret to great wine is to let the terroir do the talking. Their intimate knowledge of the Central Coast allows them to craft wines that beautifully convey a sense of place.
