One of my go-to California Chards. All the hallmarks I like. Oak notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and brioche toast, but balanced by high acid and minerality. The best of both worlds. — 2 months ago

Lots of cherry in the fragrance and it comes through on the palate with a bit of leather. Tannins not as intense as I was expecting perhaps because it is 3+ years old. Delightful. May 2021. — 5 years ago

I was not impressed but that’s because of being partial to Oregon Pinot. — 8 years ago

Black cherry, a little tarragon, black pepper spice and black tea. Cab franc’s usual funkiness is restrained here. — 9 years ago

In a blind tasting, I might have mistaken the delicate lightness for Oregon. Nice acid and tannin on the finish. Elegant. — 9 years ago

Delectable- this is the La Maison Cuvée, not listed in your database. One of the most highly awarded Pinot Noirs in recent years and, not surprisingly, hard to obtain. Now Sold Out. Won the Jimmy Watson Trophy for best 1 year old Dry Red at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show in 2023. Also the Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at both Royal Melbourne and Royal Adelaide. Also Tyson Stelzer’s Pinot Noir of the Year. (“The most sublime Australian Pinot I have ever tasted “). Youthful aromatics of red berries and confectionery notes. Aromas that remind me of Carbonic Maceration. Barb thought it was very light and wondered what the fuss was all about, but it is very latent, promising much A lovely red fruited sweetness (cherry). Light bodied with profound intensity. Much yet to give, which I am sure it will. An excellent Pinot Noir which will only get better with time in the cellar. Campbell Mattinson’s drinking window was 2026 - 2034+ so drinking now was infanticide but I couldn’t wait! The next will be a few years away. — 2 years ago

13’ Thomas Fogarty Damiana Vineyard Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES ( From the Winery)
Always our most opulent Chardonnay, Damiana has vivid fruit and buttressed by intense natural acidity. Power and grace. 

Orange zest, lemon/lime, hard butterscotch candy, soft creaminess to it. A splash of acid. Needs a 30/ 45 minute decanting. It’s still felt slightly short of what it will be!!

There’s no doubt this will taste better in a year. This is the current release. Will age nicely for another 8/10 years. — 9 years ago

Carbonica Syrah. Very expressive nose of allspice and brambles. A little green. Medium to light bodied. Fascinating (and excellent) application of carbonic maceration to Syrah. — 9 years ago

14' Very small production. Wait two years before opening it. I tried over a dozen of these wines & this was one of three I recommend. This could be something quite special with a little patience. Loved it! -at Thomas Fogarty Winery — 9 years ago
