California Chardonnay Foxglove 2005


2005
Foxglove


Varietal: Chardonnay
We had the chance during a wine tasting this past saturday to sample this new offering, the 2005 Foxglove is basically a second label. It is a combination of estate grown fruit blended with Edna Valley grapes. About 15% is barrel fermented in old oak. The result is an outstanding white wine possessing attractive aromas of lemon oil, white corn, crushed rocks, and white currants as well as a steely crispness reminiscent of a top-notch Chablis. Drink it over the next 1-3 years...90." WA 12/06
