Foxes Island 2004 Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- $37
Quite toasty and mealy, with delicate hints of peach on the nose. Rich and weighty on the palate, delivering loads of baked apple, spice and brown sugar. Yet for all this weight and power, it doesn't seem ponderous at all, finishing long and gracefully.

Foxes Island 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
Made from young vines in the Awatere Valley, this lovely Sauvignon features a bit of smoky pungency on the nose, then honeyed citrus and stone fruit flavors before turning minerally and taut on the finish. Drink now. Not imported.

Foxes Island 2001 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $38
A delicately flavored, yet impressively plush wine, with scents of woodsmoke, black cherries and mushrooms echoed on the palate with added notes of sous bois and plums.

Foxes Island 1999 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $24
Its soft, beguiling aromas of brown sugar, cinnamon, pie crust and cranberries pull you in, then bright cherry flavors take over on the palate. Mouthfeel is light, yet caressing, and the flavors fan out on the finish, picking up notes of spice and cola. A pretty wine from start to finish.

Foxes Island 2002 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $40
Mmmmm, toasty. But it’s a good toasty, with elegant nuances of smoke and dried spices, all backed up by plenty of black cherry fruit. It’s medium-weight, with a supple mouthfeel and a long, spice-driven finish. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.

Foxes Island 2000 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $28
In contrast to this winery’s soft and beguiling ’99, the 2000 is a bigger, burlier offering, without as much of the previous vintage’s seductive charm. Plum and spice cake aromas and flavors are solid enough—maybe this wine just needs a few months to soften.

Foxes Island 2002 Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $30
Intensely smoky on the nose, with powerful grilled-fruit aromas that echo on the palate. These grilled-peach flavors are tasty on their own, then pick up an added citrusy dimension on the tart, lemony finish. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.
