Robert Foley Vineyards Description
Robert (Bob) Foley began his wine making career in the Napa Valley in 1977, having just graduated from UC Davis with degrees in both Viticulture and Enology. He spent his first year working for Heitz Cellars, followed by 15 years as the founding winemaker for Markham Vineyards.
In 1992, Bob began another 15 years as the founding winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards. During this period, he also created the highly acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, and School House wines. He now focuses mostly on Robert Foley Vineyards wines, but also creates the offerings of Shelter, Padis Vineyards, Herson Family Vineyards, and JennaMarise Wines in the Napa Valley.
Tasting Note: A truly fruit-focused bottling. Blackberry pie, briar and camphor notes interplay in the aromas and flavors that flood the palate in a big middle sweetness. As big as this wine is, the finish is gentle, allowing the flavors to linger. While muscular, ripe, and complex, the controlled tannin and acidity balance perfectly. This is a monster.
