FOXEN Chardonnay, Santa Maria Valley ‘Block UU Bien Nacido Vineyard’ 2020

Glistening, light lemon colored, the 2020 Block UU Chardonnay rests for 8 months in 29% new French oak puncheons starts off incredibly floral on the nose with additional notes of white peach, Meyer lemon zest, white mushroom, lemony herbs, and a touch of earthiness on the palate. I love the saline and fresh linen note that I get on the mid-palate. Incredible balance between the acidity, purity of fruit, and earthy notes, it’s a wine that is a fantastic buy for the price point. 728 cases made. Editor’s choice.
