Antonio Galloni on the 2010 vintage from Foxglove

"I was blown away by the two wines I tasted from Foxglove, Bob and Jim Varner's negociant label. The Varners clearly have the magic touch. These are among the finest values readers will find anywhere in the world." 
- August 2011

 90 POINTS - Wine Advocate August 2011, Issue 196
"The 2010 Chardonnay is one of the top values in California wine. It possesses tons of ripe, varietal fruit in a style that is quite rich but not heavy. Clean citrus and floral notes add freshness on the long finish. Lees stirring gives the wine much of its richness, while aging in steel helps maintain freshness. There is remarkable depth and textural finesse here, never mind a price that is mind-boggling for this level of quality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014."

Value Californian Chardonnay!


Foxglove Wines are produced by twin brothers Bob and Jim Varner, the winemakers of the highly acclaimed Varner and Neely Wines. For Foxglove Bob and Jim source grapes from a variety of vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County, Paso Robles and Monterery County seeking out beautiful, balanced fruit. 

 

The 2010 Foxglove Chardonnay is unoaked but had its lees stirred regularly contributing to the wine's caressing texture. It did not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to preserve juicy, fresh acidity. The resulting wine is one of California's best chardonnay values- full of fruit, and beautifully balanced.
