Foxglove

We have featured the Zinfandel and Chardonnay with great success. Now, how about the Cabernet Sauvginon---tt is 2007 vintage and it is delicious.


2007 Foxglove Cabernet Sauvignon....$11.99

"Foxglove also scores highly with their 10,800-case cuvee of 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of all-Paso Robles fruit and composed of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petiti Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the wine has a dense ruby/purple color and plenty of black fruit intermixed with loamy soil undertones, licorice, and spice. The wine is luscious and. medium to full-bodied , with silky tannins and a heady, opulent finish. Drink it over the next 2-4 years, although it could last a lot longer. These are absolutely spectacular bargains from the very high-quality Varner Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is their less expensive line-up of wines, and I encourage readers to try them – they are true winners."

Rated 89/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
