Gewurztraminer

2005 Gewurztraminer
Monterey
Our Gewurztraminer has become one of the signature wines of Thomas Fogarty Winery. It is always delightfully dry on the palate, but full of tropical fruit, white flowers and spice ... more(particularly ginger). The 2005 vintage produced some beautifully exotic yet elegant GewĂĽrztraminer, with great balance of fruit, spice and freshness.

2004 Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains
2004 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
2004 was a unique growing season in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Some of the warmest weather we have ever experienced in September rapidly ... moreaccelerated ripening in most, if not all, of our vineyards. The resulting wines are very laden with fruit and concentration. Yields were below average, resulting in high acidity and sugar at harvest. Our ’04 SCM Chardonnay is sourced from various individually fermented lots, primarily from the Fogarty Estate vineyards; some Camel Hill Chardonnay was added to fill out the blend prior to bottling. The various lots Chardonnay was whole-cluster pressed and fermented and aged in 15% new French Oak. The lees were stirred once a week for the fourteen months the wine spent in oak. 50% of the wine had its malo-lactic fermentation blocked to preserve freshness and acidity. The wine was racked to tank with its gross lees for an additional month of tank age prior to being bottled.
This blend is intended for immediate consumption; it is absolutely loaded with tropical fruit, lemon oil and brioche and represents one of the more lush SCM Chardonnays we have ever produced.

Pinot Noir

2004 Pinot Noir
Santa Cruz Mountains
This delicious Pinot Noir is a blend of our two Estate vineyards. The Sky Vineyard component always produces wines with gorgeous aromatics; think rose hips, tart cherries and cola. ... more Our Rapley Trail vineyard’s aromatics are more centered around black pepper and spice. Intriguing aromatics lead to the well structured but elegant mouthfeel. Fine tannins and bright acidity are framed by flavors of bright fruits flavors of cherries and rhubarb with a hint of earthiness. Drinking well now this wine should age well for another 3-7 years.
