One of the best California Pinots I’ve had. Red fruit, tobacco, and pepper, oaky and savory with spot-on body and balance. Excellent value at Costco — a month ago

Earthy, herbaceous, and with aeration, bing cherry enough to pull the novice drinker over to the geek side of funk and farm Pinot. — 3 years ago

Really great merlot. As CWM said, a merlot for Cab lovers! Full bodied, but still light enough to drink on its own without too much of the heavy mouth feel. — 6 years ago

Fruit is still there! One of my favorites! Bob Foley is as good a winemaker as there is on the planet! Big, fruit driven, plum and rich, but incredibly balanced. Just so good!! — 6 years ago

A lovely wine, but I prefer the 2005 Petite Sirah (I am drinking them side-by-side). Dark fruits to be sure, but pretty peppery. — 7 years ago

2 words Bob Foley. He never disappoints. Big bad cab that is well balanced front to back and has great acids. This is a great wine. Please enjoy — 2 years ago

This was on the bubble. Fully mature, but drinking perfectly now. A shade too much oak on the nose and palate. Tannins are close to resolved, and not too much acidity to talk about. Still fruit dominant with black cherries and linze torte. Consume with the next 12 - 24 months. — 5 years ago

pale yellow, watery rim; Golden Delicious apple, lemon zest, white flowers; orchard fruit, slight chalkiness; medium body, bright acidity, 14.3% ABV; Foley’s annual stainless steel bottling offers lovely fruit in a fresh, bright style not masked by barrique or excessive bâtonnage; $30 — 6 years ago

2nd wine of the night and much better. Likely better fruit expression but had enough back bone for me — 6 years ago

9.4

Typical Napa merlot made up of 90/10 merlot and cab - Power and finesse creating a nice balance - taste of dark cherries, blackberry compote and exotic spice. Juicy, ripe and lush on the palate, framed by supple tannins with a long elegant finish with chocolate and vanilla bean noticeable - Foley is winemaker - No one will be disappointed as this is dense purple color with a merlot luscious, full, pedal-to-the-medal but only has imo five years left and this is definitely in the drinking zone now — 7 years ago
