Mulberry and plum notes mix with hints of leather and cedar. Five-spice and woody spices belie the dark fruit character and add an additional layer of complexity to this wine. Berry fruit flavors and hints of lightly brewed coffee are apparent on the palate along with a touch of wood spices. Foss consistently has a brooding fruit profile with earthy undertones and moderate acidity that offers richness.

Reviews
95 / Wine Spectator
An engaging version, with a sleek and juicy structure that provides focusing energy to the range of mulberry, raspberry and black cherry compote flavors at the core. Sparkles of anise and rooibos tea emerge steadily through the mouthwatering finish, where a late hint of chaparral checks in. For the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2037. – J.M.
96 / James Suckling
This tastes so pure and polished, concentrated but refined. Goes deep in pretty red cherries, black cherries, blackcurrants, spearmint and cocoa. Made from a blend of Pommard, Swan and Mt. Eden clones. Medium-bodied, focused and well balanced by acidity and moderate tannins. Drink or hold. – J.G.
