We’re pleased to offer the 2018 Robert Foley Claret, one of Napa Valley’s most iconic and consistently celebrated proprietary red blends. A hallmark of Robert Foley’s winemaking style, this Claret blends Cabernet Sauvignon with a generous portion of Merlot, showcasing the seamless integration of power and finesse. The 2018 vintage is a standout, delivering rich aromas of black cherry, cassis, dark chocolate, and anise, layered with savory notes of tobacco leaf, graphite, and well-integrated oak. The palate is full-bodied and plush, yet structured, with velvety tannins and a persistent, mouth-coating finish. It's a bold, cellar-worthy wine that remains graceful in its youth. The 2018 Claret received 97 points from Jeb Dunnuck, who praised its “incredible depth, balance, and class,” calling it “a brilliant wine” that “rivals the best of Napa.” This score affirms its place among the top echelon of Napa Valley reds. Robert Foley, affectionately known as “Bob,” has been a force in Napa Valley winemaking since the late 1970s, gaining fame as the founding winemaker at Pride Mountain Vineyards, where he crafted highly acclaimed wines through the 1990s and early 2000s. He established his eponymous label in 1998, focusing on small-lot, high-elevation wines that reflect the rugged beauty of Napa’s Spring Mountain. His Claret quickly became the flagship wine and a cult favorite, revered for its richness, age-worthiness, and distinctive character. This is a rare opportunity to secure a top-scoring Napa blend from a legendary producer—perfect for the cellar or for enjoying with a special occasion.
