Thomas Fogarty is one of a handful of scorching hot wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains that have taken the wine world by storm. A once forgotten AVA, the whole region has seen their popularity explode thanks to a few key players. Along with neighbors Ceritas, Rhys and Arnot-Roberts, the overall quality in the last decade out of Santa Cruz has been phenomenal, and represents tremendous value; no where more so than Thomas Fogarty.
Antonio Galloni is one of a few critics that can’t seem to get enough of the boutique winery. He called it, “The single most exciting estate in Santa Cruz that people likely haven’t heard about” The reason? Quantities are too small! The quality though is off the charts. Galloni wasn’t done though– he took it a step further saying, “readers should do whatever they can to taste these fine, handcrafted wines from proprietor Tommy Fogarty and winemaker Nathan Kandler.”.
Luckily, we did the dirty work for you. The 2014 Thomas Fogarty Santa Cruz Pinot Noir crafted off the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains, was made in part using whole cluster fermentation. That rounds the wine out, giving it more character, deeper flavors and – the best part – just a touch of spice. I find their wines interesting and distinctive, even a little on the geeky side. I’m not alone– restaurants love these guys so much and they make so little wine, you can’t even order more than five cases at a time!

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A lively, fresh, floral, peppery and berry-fruited effort, the 2014 Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains (one-third whole cluster) from the team at Fogarty is medium-bodied, elegant and impeccably put together. It opens up nicely with time in the glass, has nicely integrated acidity and clean, classy feel that will drink nicely for 4-5 years.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
