About Robert Foley Vineyard Wine

"As Winemaker at Robert Foley Winery, I enjoy working with some of the finest grapes in the world. The mountain-top environment, rocky soils and 2000-foot elevation combine to concentrate flavor, color, density and aroma like no other vineyard land I have ever had the pleasure to be involved with. While most of our tonnage goes into the production of the wines of Robert Foley Winery, Jim and Carolyn Pride have invited me to produce a Claret blend under my own label - a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in different proportions from any other wine produced at the ranch."

Robert Foley Winery Claret
"Rated 93 Highly Recommended - Dark in color, with a sleek body and tight beam of spicy, herb-laced cherry, plum and currant, this Cabernet blend firms up nicely on the long, persistent finish, where the tannins anchor the flavors. Shows great depth and complexity. Drink now through 2014. 500 cases made." - Wine Spectator 12/31/01

Robert Foley Claret 1999 750ml

United States California Napa Valley

Rated 93 - There are 400 cases of this blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Pride Mountain Vineyard's winemaker, Robert Foley. Sadly, most of the 1998 (which I reviewed in issue #141) was destroyed in a warehouse fire. The only bottles that survived were those from his personal cellar and a handful of bottles provided as samples to distributors. The opaque purple-colored 1999 is a seamless classic, offering a sweet perfume of coffee, mocha, graphite, black cherries, licorice, and cassis. The wine reveals sweet tannin, beautiful purity, and a gorgeous layered texture. It should drink well for 15+ years.- Robert Parker Wine Advocate
