January 27, 2018 - Sour cherry, dried plum, baking spices. Heavy crystalization in the glass. Tannins are faded and fruit is going too. Lovely mature wine. Won't get any better.

October 2, 2016 - Uncorked and allowed to breathe for an hour. Beginning to show bricking around the edges. Some eucalyptus on the nose, black pepper, vanilla and heavily-toasted oak. The nose components carry into the flavor profile, and the wine crosses the palette like a thin syrah. Some sour-cherry/cough drop on the finish, that doesn't taste as bad as the descriptor. Still perfectly drinkable but probably a few months on the down-side of the hill. Drink up.

March 2009 (link)(Robert Foley Merlot) Ripe berry aromas explode across a round, rich midpalate. The fruit and vanilla are deep and pure, resolving into an espresso-like finish. Winery Spotlight: Robert Foley Vineyards
