This Pinot Noir needs a few years in the cellar to mellow, although you can decant it now to let it breathe. It’s very rich in cherries, raspberries, licorice and sweet, smoky oak, with a soft, silky texture. Shows a real sense of sophistication. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 92

Shows the full-bodied richness and fruity concentration of all Fogarty’s Pinots. Brims with red and black cherries, red currants, cola, anise, pepper, butterscotch and sandalwood flavors that are strong, and framed in strong tannins. Needs 3–6 years in the cellar to knit together and gather balance.——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 92
