We began the harvest on September 25 with the Sauvignon Blanc from Gist Ranch and began to pick Pinot Noir later that week. The estate Chardonnay harvest didn’t begin till October 19th. We finished with our Nebbiolo on November 14th, one of the latest picks we have ever made!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines are bright and aromatic with good depth and intensity. It is an elegant vintage that should age well. The wines will benefit from some additional time in the bottle as they are showing somewhat reticently in their youth. This seems to be a very strong vintage for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, especially the old vines on the estate – Rapley Trail and Langley Hill in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2023 Pinot Noir Mindego Ridge Vineyard impresses most for it's big, broad-shouldered weight on the palate. Lower yields led to a wine with great concentration and flavor density that makes it feel like it soaks into the palate. Black cherry, incense and white pepper open first, followed by stemmy, spicy character that begins to build and add complexity with aeration. It's a combination that really works.\" - Billy Norris, Vinous 94 pts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Fogarty Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42461425631328,"sku":"PNMR23","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/8240\/9568\/files\/Mindego_Ridge_Pinot_Noir_7843caa4-163e-4a4f-a610-5f412f6405f5.png?v=1790013277","url":"https:\/\/www.fogartywinery.com\/products\/2023-mindego-ridge-pinot-noir","provider":"Thomas Fogarty Winery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
