Dark blood red/purple in color. This is not a mindblowing wine, but it's solidly constructed. Copious amounts of firm silky tannins. This really isn't showing the typical Foley youthful forwardness that many of his wines do. Notes of briary blackberry, bitter chocolate, espresso grounds, vanilla bean, and lots of toasty oak. Full bodied with a moderate/long finish full of silky, dusty tannin. This needs some time. 94+ pts.
