Robert Foley 2016 Merlot

Napa Valley California

Starting with the 2016 Merlot from Foley, this beauty comes from a mix of mountain and valley floor sites and was brought up all in French oak. Loads of ripe black cherries, tobacco, chocolate, and dried earth give way to a medium to full-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured Merlot. I love its purity of fruit and it’s already impossible to resist. It’s going to evolve for over a decade. R23-3 SP17-2
