2016 Foxen Fe Cienga Vineyard Pinot Noir Sta Rita Hills

92 Points Wine Enthusiast

Black raspberry, turned earth, baked plum and incense show on the nose of this bottling from the vineyard of winemaker Billy Wathen's good friend Rick Longoria. There is a woody core to the palate, where oak and pine flavors are wrapped around black plum and boysenberry fruit, with a touch of sagebrush. — Matt Kettmann
