It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods and occasions.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Thomas Fogarty Pinot Noir is a brilliant expression of the variety.On the nose, it offers aromas of juicy blackberry, raspberry, and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with a velvety texture and flavors of cranberry and dark cherry. The finish is long, with a hint of spice and soft, silky tannins. Enjoy this beautiful Pinot Noir now or cellar for a few years to experience its full potential.

ORIGINS
Winery: Thomas Fogarty
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
