Thomas Fogarty Winery Description
In 1976 Dr Thomas Fogarty, a practicing heart surgeon and noted inventor of medical devices decided that he would dedicate his approximately 350 acres in the north end of the Santa Cruz Mountains to open space. For inclusion in the “Williamson Act”, the property would need an active agricultural purpose. The idea appealed to Dr Fogarty, but he was undecided as to what types of crops he would cultivate. Initially, Dr Fogarty considered planting the entire property to Kiwi fruit, but thankfully he reconsidered after a few fellow Stanford physicians introduced him to the wines of Burgundy and local producers David Bruce, Mount Eden and Ridge.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Fermented with one-third whole clusters and aged for 10 months, the 2023 Pinot Noir features a lovely nose of pomegranate, blood orange and coniferous overtones. The palate is silky and rich, with a precise finish supported by gentle, structuring tannins. This is a solid, representative introduction to the region and the Fogarty range.
