Thomas Fogarty 2004 Camel Hill Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  1. $45
Creamy and crisp, this Chard is ultrarich in fruit, with lemondrop, pineapple tart filling, crème brûlée and buttered toast flavors. Really delicious and complicated, it’s from a vineyard on mountainous slopes in the heart of the Silicon Valley suburb of Los Gatos.  — S.H.  (10/1/2007)

Thomas Fogarty 2001 Camel Hill Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  1. $45
It takes an incredibly good vineyard to produce a Cab Franc this good. This lovely wine has lush blackberry flavors with nuances of espresso and sweet oregano. It’s quite tannic, leaving behind a dusty astringency.  — S.H.  (11/15/2004)

Thomas Fogarty 2002 Camel Hill Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  1. $48
Fogarty has a great track record with Cabernet, including Cab Franc, and this is an interesting, complex wine. It’s dry and tannic. There’s a gamy, leathery note to the blackberry and coffee fruit that finishes with great length. Despite the tannins, it doesn’t seem like an ager, so drink up.  — S.H.  (5/1/2006)

Thomas Fogarty 2004 Camel Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  1. $55
This vineyard is the source of tannic, impressive Cabs for Thomas Fogarty. The ’06, which is 97% varietal, is extremely ripe in currant and unsweetened chocolate flavors, and very smooth in tannins. But it’s also very high in alcohol. Hard to tell where it’s going.  — S.H.  (12/1/2008)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $48
Fogarty has a good track record with this bottling. The ’04 certainly is ripe and soft, with rich, jammy cherry, red currant, raspberry, licorice and mocha flavors. With very high (15.5%) alcohol, it could have a firmer structure, but it’s lip-smackingly good.  — S.H.  (7/1/2008)
