2018 Miner Family Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

Brilliant ruby-red. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red and dark berries, vanilla and candied flowers, along with building baking spice and mineral nuances. Concentrated but lively black raspberry, cherry cola and mocha flavors take on licorice and floral pastille qualities through the midpalate. Finishes very long, sweet and supple, with a repeating cherry note and polished tannins adding shape and grip. (Vinous; 9/2020)

Meh. Very thin, light, little fruit. Next to nothing going on in the nose or on the palate.
Got it as a gift at the tasting room for joining Foley’s portfolio wine club, otherwise would be put off for the price. Surprised at this wine, because many others at this price point in Foley portfolio are good wines.

2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary

PnPnV - 30 minute decant. Nose of blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry, finishes with a deep concentration of fruit and a hint of tea leaves. Drinking well at the moment, needs some more time to come together. Will try one again next year and see.
