Exuberant in fruit and oak, this Cabernet shows that the Happy Canyon appellation can ripen grapes. It’s rich in blackberries and black cherries that taste baked into a pie, alongside buttery toast. Very delicious, but the next step is to build in layers of complexity with aging.

Lots of rich, ripe fruit in this Cabernet, which comes from the Happy Canyon area of the warmer eastern part of the valley. It shows deliciously forward blackberry, blueberry and cherry flavors, with a sweet overlay of toasty oak and rich, firm tannins. Dry and lovely, it’s fine to drink now.

From the new Happy Canyon appellation, this wine is so close to being so good. It’s dry and rich in acidity, and complex in blackberry, cherry and currant flavors that finish long and sweet. This new 7200 line from Foxen is worth watching over future vintages.

The grapes sure got ripe, offering palate-flattering flavors of cherries, raspberries and blackberries. And there’s lots of pretty oak. The next step for this ambitious bottling is to build in layers of complexity. Drink now.

As this Cabernet develops in the glass, the oak takes over, offering rich aromas and flavors of caramel, vanilla and wood spices. Underneath is a nice Cabernet with cherry and blackberry flavors. The wine is dry and crisp and fairly tannic. A study in progress.

A rich, ripe, oaky Cabernet, from this ambitious little appellation in the warmer, eastern part of the Santa Ynez Valley. It’s nice to drink now for the fine tannins and dry flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries and oak.
