Thomas Fogarty 2009 Damiana Vineyard Estate Grown Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Damiana Vineyard Estate Grown
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Thomas Fogarty / Santa Cruz Mountains

This vineyard has been source to some of Fogarty’s greatest Chardonnays, and this 2009 bottling continues the tradition of excellence. It’s bone dry and tart in acidity, with smoky oak and lees influences. But the real star of the wine is the fruit; the flavors of lemon and lime custard, papaya, guava and nectarine are delicious.
