"Foley's other proprietary red, the 2013 The Griffin, is another fabulous effort. Stunningly rich, this inky ruby/purple-colored wine displays loads of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, some incense, camphor and floral notes. Complex, full-bodied, opulent and super-pure, this is a mouth-filling, hedonistic and intellectually satisfying wine to drink over the next decade. Robert Foley is one of the renowned and iconic winemakers of Northern California. He cut his teeth at Pride Mountain Vineyards, where he quickly established his impressive credentials. He has been on his own for a number of years, and these wines represent his current releases." Wine Advocate #226, Aug 2016 |
