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.

#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
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.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
