The 2019 Pinot Noir La Vida Bella Vineyard is a bright, pungent wine. Beams of supporting tannin give the 2019 its spine and overall sense of drive. Black cherry, sage, mint, lavender and dark spice nuances all come together nicely. I would cellar this for at least a year or two. Drink 2024-2034. (AG)

Deep, dark and penetrating aromas of dried cherry and sarsaparilla show on the nose of this bottling. Dusty herbs and shiitake flavors come through on the palate, where a hearty mouthfeel showcases baked plum and mulberry flavors as well.
Notes
Sourced from La Bella Vida Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this site-designate Pinot Noir sits within Thomas Fogarty's long-running small-lot program. The winery has been a benchmark for cool, coastal-influenced mountain fruit on the San Francisco Peninsula, with vineyard expression taking priority over cellar embellishment.
