The Winery
Adrian Fog
Adrian Fog is run by a winemaking team with Midwestern roots. Stewart Dorman hails from Southern Indiana, who moved out to California only to fall for the tricky grape of Pinot Noir. He worked throughout the valley with big names such as Mondavi, Sterling, Beringer and more. Jane Ferrel hails from Detroit originally, where she met Dorman and tossed her business life to the wind to devote herself to winemaking. The wines are focused mainly on Pinot Noir, altering vineyard sites in the prime Pinot Noir making AVAs of the North Coast. They also produce a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa fruit.
Tasting Notes
- WA95
- I was blown away by the 2001 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard, an exquisitely singular effort offering aromas of melted blueberries intermixed with hints of smoke as well as new oak. This dense ruby/purple-colored Pinot possesses gorgeously rich black fruits, a seamless integration of acidity, wood, and tannin, full body, and tremendous purity as well as stature. A stunning expression of Pinot Noir, it represents the essence of both the varietal and the vineyard. Drink it over the next 5-8 years.
