New project from Thomas Fogarty. Varietally correct, decent drop. Nothing special.

Great nose. Great pair with either duck confit, rack of lamb, rotisserie chicken, dry rub pork ribs, paella, and veal sweetbreads. Cheers!! 💕

Smells like old-school Tuscan Red. Tastes like old-school Santa Cruz Mountain Red.

New Bordeaux project in the Santa Cruz Mountains from Thomas Fogarty Winery. A label worth following, curious to see how the '12s and beyond show. This is delicious.

Love the SCM wines! Lexington was recommended by House Family Vineyards (which also has a great CabSauv). This wine had a smooth start, and a nice typical CabFranc bite finish. Very enjoyable!
