What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Winemakers Notes

INSIDER SCOOP: Outstanding new discovery from the winemaker of Pride Reserve Cabernet ($229/bottle - R. Parker 98 points). Exact same winemaker + exact same vineyard but 1/2 the price!!! Foley Claret immediately became a highly sought after sensation after the 2001 vintage launched out of the gates with a �Classic 99� points rating from Robert Parker!

ROBERT PARKER TASTING NOTES: "The prodigious 2005 Claret possesses a dense purple color in addition to beautiful aromas of creme de cassis, smoke, graphite, and cedar. Full-bodied, opulent, and voluptuously-textured read more...with superb depth and purity in addition to a savory mouthfeel, and a surprisingly fleshy, forward personality, it should last for 10-15 years, but who will be able to resist it for that long?"    (hide)
