(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

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.

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.

Sweet cherry, dried plum, baking spices and toffee fill the glass; sweet and supple tannins; mid finish.
