"Foley’s finest wine is modeled after Pride Mountain’s Claret. The 2010 Claret (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot) boasts fabulous aromas of licorice, espresso beans, blueberries, blackberries and subtle smoky oak. With full-bodied texture, terrific purity and layers of juicy fruit and glycerin, this brilliant, full throttle, mouth-coating red can be enjoyed now as well as over the next 15+ years. Foley is one of the more interesting winemakers in Napa Valley. I first met Robert Foley years ago when he was making the wines at Pride Vineyards, and his wines never lack intensity, always delivering high quality as well as abundant fruit."
