Decanted and left to stand for an hour, then drunk with dinner. Dark fruit on the nose, blackberry and plum, also floral notes, hint of honeysuckle or caramel. Palate continues the fruit, very good balance of tannin and acid. Feels a little tight, better if I'd opened it earlier. Quite awesome and better than when tasted at the winery two years ago.

Light and pleasant dark fruit on the nose. Very smooth and balanced plum and blackberry on the palate. Very nice food wine. Blends in nicely, but rich fruit still comes through without overpowering.

Very smooth and balanced with plum and red currant flavors. Not as big and extracted as you usually get with Fogarty but still an outstanding and very delicious wine. But perhaps expecting even more for the price and will let the last two age for awhile.

Whites & Reds at Thomas Fogarty Winery (Thomas Fogarty Winery, Woodside CA): Big flowery and spicy nose, one of my fav nose of the day. Nice tannins, not overdone. Am I overly sensitive to alcohol today because this ones burning too.
