I was not impressed but that’s because of being partial to Oregon Pinot. — 7 years ago

Cool story behind this. Lost his Chablis crop to frost, but was determined to make some wine. Sourced Limoux Chard from friends and viola. Lemon grass and bright acidity. — 7 years ago

Black cherry, a little tarragon, black pepper spice and black tea. Cab franc’s usual funkiness is restrained here. — 8 years ago

13’ Thomas Fogarty Damiana Vineyard Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES ( From the Winery)
Always our most opulent Chardonnay, Damiana has vivid fruit and buttressed by intense natural acidity. Power and grace. 

Orange zest, lemon/lime, hard butterscotch candy, soft creaminess to it. A splash of acid. Needs a 30/ 45 minute decanting. It’s still felt slightly short of what it will be!!

There’s no doubt this will taste better in a year. This is the current release. Will age nicely for another 8/10 years. — 8 years ago

Jasmine, quince paste, spiced pear, lemon curd, pineapple sweetness, punchy. Touch of lemon pith at end, but tons of juicy acid. Creamy / lactic. Chalky minerals. Layered, delicious, weighty.

+2hr decant.

Nose has black cherry, plum skin, raspberry, pink rose, wet earthy aromas and touch of alcohol.

Palate has rich, tart red cherry, tart blackberry, game or grass fed meat notes, light confectionery sugar on the long finish. Acidity is high, but smooth and very enjoyable, mouthwatering.

Very impressive bottle for just under $30, value delivered. Drink now or hold for 4-6 years. It's damn tasty, remaining bottles likely will not see 2021...In this household. — 6 years ago

Velvety, full of flavor yet not too fruity. Beautiful wine on its own or with food. German/Austrian went real well! — 8 years ago
