I'm sure it would have been good -- a morsel of gourmet caramel candy, following a whiff of banana, and then a long, intricate, freshly acidic finish that made the mouth water for more.
Alas, my bottle was corked, so I tasted moldy, flooded basement and wet cardboard before and along with anything else. But I'm sure.
As for the name, Fogdog, let me quote the back label's explanation for you. "Fogdog. n. A bright or clear spot that appears in a breaking fog. (American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition.)"
That's all. This is a wine from Joseph Phelps, whose reputation is such that he need say nothing else. I must say I prefer my old Webster's New World dictionary's definition of fogdog, because it's clearer: "a bright spot sometimes seen at the horizon as a fog starts to dissipate."
Retail, about $30-$35.
