The most impressive offering in the Foxen portfolio is the 1996 Syrah Morehouse Vineyard. This dark ruby/purple-colored wine possesses a textbook bacon fat, fried meat, and smoky-scented nose intermixed with super-ripe black raspberry and cassis fruit, full body, outstanding concentration and purity, and a luscious, silky finish. Drink this seductive, intensely flavored Syrah now and over the next 7-10 years. One of the most noteworthy achievers in Santa Barbara, Foxen produces a range of wines. Tel. (805) 937-4251
