WINE DESCRIPTION

Robert Foley Vineyards Merlot is a premium wine produced by Robert Foley, a renowned winemaker with over 40 years of experience. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in the Napa Valley appellation, known for its ideal growing conditions. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a moderate climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Merlot with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Merlot from Robert Foley Vineyards is a delightful example of a classic California Merlot.The aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is smooth and supple, with a velvety texture and a juicy core of blackberry and plum flavors. The wine is nicely balanced, with a lingering finish and hints of sweet tobacco and leather. Enjoy this Merlot with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a sharp cheese platter.
