Foxen 2016 7200 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara
Jeb Dunnuck - 92 Points
"Coming from a site in the Happy Canyon region, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard is a classic, more old-school style of Cabernet Sauvignon that prizes purity, precision, and elegance above outright power. Notes of cassis, cedar pencil, underbrush, and tobacco all give way to a ripe, seamless, balanced effort that has polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's another wine here that can be drunk today with pleasure or cellared for 10-15 years (or more)."

"Intense blackberry and black-currant aromas meet with violet on the nose of this bottling by Bill Wathen and Dick Doré. There is a pure expression of blackberry on the palate, alongside roasted espresso, peppercorn-spice and tangy black-plum flavors."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 91 Points
"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard has a medium to deep ruby color and opens to notes of cedar and nutmeg with blackcurrant, warm black cherries and berries plus accents of chocolate, coffee bean and blackcurrant bud. Medium to full-bodied, it's got tons of spicy fruits in the mouth with very firm tannins and good acidity, with a very long, chocolaty finish."
