86 KitFox Foxy White California 2004 $14.99
Pretty apricot, mango and spice aromas lead to rich and toasty flavor that finish with a silky, oily texture.
A catchall white blend dominated by Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay.
Drink now through 2006.

Bounty Hunter Review
03 Kitfox 'Foxy' (Red) – California
(Enter Hendrix Stratocaster riff) You knoooow, you're a cute little heartbreaker?
OK, it was too easy, but it's hard not to get excited about the screaming value of this new discovery. Cabernet-based and dripping with smooth, supple plum and purple fruit flavors, it's packed with hedonistic flavor and absolutely ready to drink. No patience required. Aptly named after the endangered Kit Fox, Foxy is going to be very tough to locate in its natural habitat once people start pulling corks. Take this one home, and we guarantee it won't do you no harm.

Kit Fox, Foxy 2002 -- California. I believe it is a 60/40 Cabernet/Syrah blend. Classy label, great fruit nose, full of fruit, long finish, has stuff! I guessed $35 after tasting. I was off by about $25. A wine for everyday, but will fool your weekend dinner guests. Load up!

Foxy Red 2002
"Cool Zinfandel aromas of cranberry and raspberry herald the sweeter cherry beneath. Has a good mouth feel with the tannins and acidity providing simultaneous structure and zip. Nice use of oak to elevate the red fruits."

Foxy Red 2002
The nose is dark fruits and spice. Black cherry with a touch of plum and a beautiful soft finish. The tannins are round and supple. Everybody at the tasting agreed - Delicious! Perfect with light grilled meats or by itself.
Foxy White 2004
A five grape blend made up primarily of Chenin Blanc. It explodes on the nose with scents of peaches and honeysuckle. Rich and inviting with exotic fruits and a touch of sweetness. It would be the perfect match for anything from spicey Asian to Southern fried chicken.
