Foxen 2018 Old Vine Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard Santa Maria Valley

"The 2018 Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard Old Vines is a dense, powerful wine that shows the more savory side of Chenin off to great effect. Dried flowers, herb, almonds and mineral inflections give the Chenin its super distinctive personality. There is plenty of texture and depth, but the fruit is pushed into the background. The Foxen Chenin is one of the most distinctive wines in Santa Barbara. It is also an insane value." Antonio Galloni 94 Points

"Aromas of dried apple and pear, orange peel, elderflower and beach sand show on the nose of this tasty white wine. There's an extremely textural tone of grapefruit pith on the palate, with a warmer hint of blanched almond as well." Wine Enthusiast 91 Points
