Foxglove Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Alcohol: 14.5%

Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon

Localization: Paso Robles, Central Coast, California

Tasting Notes: The non-interventionist winemaking style emphasizes purity, natural balance and texture. From the northern area of Paso Robles, this wine offers silky tannins with super-ripe dark cherry, tobacco, licorice and plum, and is proffered as one of the best values in California Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes: With a slight chill, this is an excellent BBQ wine.

The Domain: At the core of Foxglove is Bob Varner, also the winemaker at Varner Wines. Beginning with their first vintage in 1991, Bob sources the wine from various places, all of which are in Edna Valley. The resulting wine has Central Coast appellation pricing and is full of complex fruit flavors that the Edna Valley appellation is known for.

Edna Valley, a relatively small appellation, grows mostly Chardonnay on about 1000 acres. The entire acreage is tightly controlled by a few owners employing the most up-to-date vineyard practices that give the valley impressive evenness. Located just south of San Luis Obispo, its vineyards are some of California's closest to the Pacific Ocean. Mild winters, cool, foggy summer, and clay-loam soils produce a combination of flavors that have been described as "textbook Central Coast."
