Thomas Fogarty
Henry Ayrton's Block Rapley Trail Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USAHospitality Director Big Basin Vineyards
Bottle 473 of 600. Not a wine for drinking anytime soon. Deep flavors of earth, dark currants, Logan berries framed by some serious refined tannins and notes of Santa Cruz Mountain spice. Shallow mountain soils in cold vintages are going to take serious time to reveal themselves. Thankfully I can't be blamed for killing this baby - it was the winemaker!!

Jan 24th, 2014This is absolutely beautiful. 2012 vintage, fully integrated, it has that cranberry note that I love (nice fruit + acidity) and a clean, long finish. I wish this bottle would last forever. 75 cases made. A true treat.
