Fox Mountain Sonoma County Reserve 1988
The Fox Mountain Sonoma County Reserve 1988 is a red wine produced and bottled by The Foppiano Family. Fox Mountain is both a uniquely beautiful landmark and the name of the family ranch. For the producer, this name holds a deeper meaning, symbolizing a commitment to crafting an authentic reserve that represents the very best of their production.
This wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most recognized blue grapes used for crafting structured red wines. The variety is widely planted and highly regarded in prominent wine regions globally, including Bordeaux, Washington, Tuscany, and California.
The grapes are sourced from Sonoma County within California, the most important wine-producing state in the United States, responsible for over 80 percent of the nation's total wine output. The Californian wine landscape stretches over 1,300 kilometers along the Pacific coast, where the climate is heavily influenced by cool ocean winds and morning fog. These coastal conditions create significant diurnal temperature shifts, allowing for an extended ripening period. The region features highly varied soils, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate, cementing its status as one of the most diverse and quality-oriented wine areas in the world. The wine has an alcohol content of 13.5 percent.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
California
California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.
The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
