A wine with cooked apple, vanilla, lightly toasted oak and honey. Full and oily. Viscous yet a brightness to it, and vanilla bean aftertaste. (12/ 2011)
Mid-depth aromas of green and ripe apples give this wine both richness and the promise of further development to come. It also sports background notes of stones and minerals, and the artful blending of those pieces is repeated in the wine's attractive yet youthfully vital flavors. Certain to be enjoyed now alongside all manner of broiled or pan-grilled fish, this one will find enhanced richness with time in bottle. (10/ 2011)
Bright acid and crisp fruit characterize Foley's 2009 Chardonnay vintage. This full-bodied white displays the power of the Sta. Rita Hills appelation, and more specifially the Ranch Santa Rosa estate vineyard. The wine was fermented in 50% new French Oak and 25% was surpressed from completing malolactic fermentation. The best lots were blended after 16 months in barrel. The finished wine displays tropical fruit, stone fruit, and baking spices with a minerally finish.
