2019 Foxglove - Pinot Noir Central Coast (750ml)
2019 Foxglove Pinot Noir — Central Coast (750ml)
Foxglove represents the value‑focused Pinot Noir from the Varner brothers, extending their terroir‑driven winemaking into an approachable bottle. Crafted from fruit sourced across California’s Central Coast, the wine benefits from a warm inland climate tempered by cooling Pacific influence, allowing grapes to fully ripen while preserving bright acidity. Minimal oak usage ensures the wine lets the vineyard and vintage character shine through.
The 2019 delivers lush cherry and strawberry notes, complemented by hints of rhubarb, a touch of dried herb, and a light spice on the finish. On the palate it’s medium‑bodied and silky, with enough structure to carry the wine beyond its approachable price point.
- Oak profile: kept to a minimum to preserve fruit-forward character
- Finish: subtle spice with a clean, appreciable lift
Food pairings: roasted turkey, mushroom risotto, or a simple herb‑crusted salmon.
