Claret Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Big wine with a lot of heat. Continues to evolve the longer she's open. Black current, cedar and a hint of herbs.

Wet leaves

11 yrs of age was right in my mind. Blackberry, gravel notes with a nice oak nose

Mine of the top wines of the year. Phenomenal!

Silky cherry and blackberry fruit--a touch of spice, with a pleasant wood finish.

Black pepper and wet clay on the nose big black and blue fruits still an infant long and elegant finish

Requires a few more years in the bottle but a good decant and a few hours do wonders even now.

All 15 vintages (98-12) Robert Foley Claret at lunch with Bob & Ivan in Ft. Worth.

Too early to open but just got my shipment and couldn't resist to sample the release. Tons of fruit, wound up tighter than bob usually delivers a claret which I'd say will allow this to cellar well for 10-20 yrs. I'll update when I open the next one in 5+ years. Delicious as always.

Smooth, easy to drink, blackberry, dry finish
