Enjoy (2) Bottles of Amazing Thomas Fogarty Wines ---   (1) Chardonnay 2014 and (1) Lexington Cabernet Sauvignon   ----- Value $100+

Wine & Spirits gave the Lexington 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon a 94!

How often does a cabernet remind you of fresh red raspberries? Like the 2013 Lexington Apex, this presents cabernet at its most energetic; it sings tenor, not bass. It’s clean and zesty, with a primal juiciness that lasts, the tannins polished and finely ripened, so you hardly notice them. One useful analogy might be a tight but fresh premier cru Burgundy: the kind of firm, earthy, acid-driven red that will evolve at an even pace. You can enjoy this in its youth, or in five years, or in fifteen. (400 cases)

From the very beginning, it was the vision of Thomas Fogarty Sr. that when the winery and 30 acre vineyard was developed, that the remaining 330 acres from his 360 acre estate would be set aside to remain in an open space preserve. Our farming practices reflect this respect for the land, by respecting and working with the soils natural micro biological systems. We believe the most exciting wines come from vineyards with ‘Living Soils’, healthy soils, soils that will support healthy and balanced vines. Our farming is a distillation of what we have learned from organic, sustainable, and biodynamic practices, with a healthy touch of intuition. These practices have been honed and developed over our 35 years of farming Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the very cool Northern Skyline subregion of the Santa Cruz Mountains. We nurture our ‘Living Soils’ and healthy vines by making use of cover-crop cultivations, creating a habitat for beneficial insects, we compost, and apply compost-teas.
