Thomas Fogarty Winery was founded in 1978 by inventor Dr. Thomas Fogarty and winemaker Michael Martella. Dr Fogarty’s penchant for innovative thought and Martella’s viticulture instincts allowed them to lead the development of the cool Skyline Ridge area; true pioneers in one of California’s premiere Pinot Noir and Chardonnay regions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Michael Martella has been responsible for winemaking and viticulture at Thomas Fogarty Winery since its founding in 1981. Michael grew up on a peach and sweet potato farm in Hughson, California. His first encounter with wine came at the altar of his local church. Being of Swiss-Italian heritage his grandfather and grand-uncles often enjoyed a glass or two of red wine during and after the family meals. Michael has been in been involved in farming all his life. After studying winemaking at California State University at Fresno, he worked in some of California’s largest wineries in the San Joaquin Valley. These early experiences helped formulate his deep respect and appreciation for vineyard sites, soils and vines. |

2008 Pinot Noir
Pinot, packed with spice and floral notes over red fruits. The soaring nose is confirmed by the expressive palate- juicy red fruits, spice and a background of forestfloor. This wine is drinking quite well in its youth, but should evolve quite nicely over the next 5-7 years at minimum. |
