I realize these this wine is not from California’s north coast, but it is worthy of inclusion. Foxen’s 2005 Chardonnay Tinaquaic Vineyard exhibits notes of roasted hazelnuts, smoky wood, tropical fruits, and peaches. Medium-bodied, fleshy, and pure with impressive intensity, it is a wine to drink over the next 1-3 years. Tel. (805) 937-4251; Fax (805) 937-0415
