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!

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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
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.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
