ROBERT FOLEY WINES FROM THE 2007 VINTAGE

6-750 ml bottles each –18 bottles total 

As one might expect from Robert Foley, these are all massive wines, opaque purple in color, and filled with personality and concentration.

Robert Foley Claret

The extraordinary Claret, which is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, displays notes of creme de cassis, blackberry, incense, and licorice. The wine is super-pure and super-rich, an extraordinarily full-bodied powerhouse of a Cabernet Sauvignon. Its sweetness of tannin and headiness already make it accessible. RP 98

Robert Foley Merlot

It is hard to find much better Merlot than Foley’s 2007 Merlot. This is a blockbuster wine as well. Opulent, exuberant, with that certain “wow” factor from layers of melted fudge, espresso roast, plum, fig, and black cherry and currants, there is an impression of sweetness because of the high levels of alcohol/glycerin. RP 95

Robert Foley Petite Sirah

The black/purple Petite Sirah may well be around in 50-60 years, when most of us will be pushing up daisies. The wine displays notes of pepper, spice box, blackberry, and blueberry, with hints of incense and floral undertones. It is dense and almost looks like syrup being poured into a glass. RP 95+
