title: Foxen 2009 Bien Nacido Vineyard Steel Cut Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Drier and more minerally than Foxen's other Chardonnays, because it is the least oaked. It's vibrant in grilled pineapple, mango, apricot and vanilla spice flavors, brightened by beautiful acidity. Alcohol is quite high, but the wine never tastes hot or unbalanced.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Bien Nacido Vineyard Steel Cut
