"This vineyard down in Corralitos delivers especially well in this vintage. Aromas of red plum, tart cherry and earthy sagebrush slide into a smoothly textured palate of strawberry, earthy mint and crushed rock flavors. -MK"

"The 2021 Pinot Noir La Vida Bella Vineyard is another stellar wine in this range. Dried herbs, tobacco, cedar, mint and crushed flowers lend notable complexity to this mid-weight, savory Pinot. Primary fruit notes lie more in the background in this bottling."

92 Matthew Luczy - Robert Parkers The Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Pinot Noir La Vida Bella Vineyard, from the Corralitos area, is Thomas Fogarty's sole expression of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains. The nose is red-fruited and coniferous, with a poised, fragrant bouquet and medium intensity. It is silky and spry on the palate with moderate length and grip on the finish, perfectly encapsulating the bright-fruited energy this region is known for. The structured winemaking style at Fogarty adds a pleasant tenacity throughout, suggesting this should drink beautifully over the next 6-7 years."

A very attractive Gigondas that marries black-cherry and complex Mediterranean-herb aromas to a wealth of velvety tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. The long, very elegant finish pulls you back for more. Delicious now but also has excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.

Ripe strawberries and red plums are complemented by hints of dried herbs and orange peel on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is smooth and juicy, featuring gentle grip, a dusting of texture and a pure, red-fruited finish. Drink now.

"The 2023 Chardonnay De La Guerra is a terrific introduction to this range from Hyde de Villaine. Hints of apricot, chamomile, tangerine oil and light tropical inflections unfurl in the glass. This vibrant, steely Chardonnay is so expressive. Think of the De La Guerra as the village wine here. What a delight."

« Delightful pale gold colour. Clean, fruity nose with hints of grape. Fruity and tangy on the palate, with an appreciable ripeness and freshness. Lively, refreshing profile. »

Quite a bit more taut and nervy than the Rosé de Pauline tasted alongside, the 2024 Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani boasts a lightning bolt of minerality and propulsive acidity. White flowers, crushed rocks, seaspray and orange peel rush across the palate, leaving behind a pleasant echo of bitterness.
