PRESS & RATINGS: 
88 Points - VInous: 
"Fogarty's 2013 Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains is a pretty, fruit-driven wine to drink young, while the flavors remain bright. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and cinnamon grace the supple, open-knit finish. The Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot is predominantly made from purchased fruit.." Drink 2015-2020. -Antonio Galloni (7/2015)

TastingNotesDark cherry fruit, earth and spice box flavors are long 
and the texture and tannins are balanced.
