The charming and natural beauty of a chardonnay originally locked in by a self-reflecting reductive tendency now emerges with full mellifluous smoulder and a honeyed smokiness. Even if at that time it was not realized as such. Now quite clear as a virtuoso soloist’s performance only made possible by chances taken, through the scientific experimentation of a winemaker with a sense of wonder. This performance of Foxcroft fruit has not been noted before and neither will it be repeated. The feeling however dictates the next and the next will do more. Bring on 2018. Last tasted December 2020.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSILVER! – 2018 WineAlign National Wine Awards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDespite being from a cooler year, this is a very rich example of the Foxcroft \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003evineyard.
