Tasting notes
Brought up in one-third new French oak, the 2020 Chardonnay Tinaquaic Vineyard is more serious, with deeper aromatics of orchard fruits, toasted bread, and honeyed minerality. It's rich, medium-bodied, has good concentration, and a bright spine of acidity. It should age gracefully. I surprisingly found a few of these latest Pinot Noirs from Foxen to be muddled and overtly earthy. Nevertheless, it’s big lineup of wines and there’s lot to like and choose from.

The 2020 Chardonnay Tinaquaic Vineyard Estate Grown - Dry Farmed is such a distinctive wine. Melon, pear, baked apple, spice and chamomile open nicely in the glass, but what impresses most about the Tinaquaic Chardonnay is its understatement and nuance. Silky and caressing, the 2020 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years.
