"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."

"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."
