Bob and Jim Varner are well known for their exceptional wine's from Central Coast sites. Introduced in 1991, the Foxglove wines are made from grapes harvested from select sites and treated with the same care as the more expensive Varner Wines."Grapes are planted on rolling hills in Hog Canyon in the northern area of Paso Robles. The grapes are destemmed (no whole clusters) at the winery. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The grapes are pressed at dryness. Malolactic fermentation completes after pressing." - Bob Varner" For a world that’s gotten used to jammy, ultraripe Zinfandel, this is a refresher course reminding us that Zinfandel made in a more restrained fashion can be fresh, exuberant and spicy. Foxglove is perennially a source of good values from the Central Coast of California. It’s the second label of Bob and Jim Varner." - Eric Asimov, The New York Times Show more
