Fox Creek Tn's?

[Randy Caparoso]

Anything from Fox Creek (even their "Vixen," a Sparkling Cabernet/Shiraz) is incredible drinking. This winery is on a roll!

My notes on the '98 "JSM" last March: An unsusual blend, with startling results. Shimmering purplish ruby color followed by jammy, juicy concentration of peppery, woodsmoked berries. On the palate, super extracted fruit lashed with sinewy tannin, giving thick, muscular, strapping sensations.

You don't want to just drink this wine, you want to spread on toast (or a companion) and lap it up. In any case, why wait? Personally, I advise you to enjoy it now, in all its glorious youth. If you wait too long, it's liable to become more timid and genteel, like lots of folks I know.
