FOXEN Chardonnay, Santa Maria Valley ‘Bien Nacido Block UU’ 2021

Resting sur lie for 8 months in 24% new French oak puncheons, the 2021 Block UU Chardonnay from Foxen displays a light lemon core with a watery rim in the glass. Rich Meyer lemon curd, fresh apricot, blacked almonds, sea breeze, and stony minerality dance on the palate. The finish gifts a bit of earth, mushroom, and clove, and it goes on for minutes from the lemony acidity. 886 cases made.
