Foxly Pinot Noir 2018

16/20

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFoxtrot created its second label, Foxly, so it had a tier of wines that were approachable and ready to drink upon release. You certainly don't need to wait on this pinot. It's already quite developed, showing a combination of dried red fruits, underbrush, and cedar, with sweet spices after aging in French barriques for 14 months (30% new). The palate is still lively, with soft, supple tannins, but the fruit does feel like it's beginning to fade. Drink now with a slight chill.Tasted: 22 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Foxly Pinot Noir 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2nd label of Foxtrot Vineyard is designed to be a more approachable, drink-now style. Unfortunately, my sample is suffering from some form of spoilage that has blunted the fruit, nose, and palate. It seems Treve’s bottle faired a bit better, so check her note. I will try to retaste this wine down the road.Tasted: 16 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Foxly Pinot Noir 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFoxly is the 2nd label of Foxtrot Vineyard, released in the spring of 2020, and meant to be a more approachable, drink-now style. This blends fruit from the Okanagan and Similkameen, 1/3 whole cluster for a seperate stainless ferment, before resting in French oak (30% new) for 14 months prior to the final blend and bottling. Already pouring a bricking hue, this is soft and easy access, with dried strawberries, cherries, raspberry jam on a softer, cushy palate. Acidity is moderate, and tannins are slight, finishing with some browning spices. This feels a bit autumnal, so best to take now with wild mushroom and/or roast poultry dishes.Tasted: 28 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:
