Wine Review: There are many folks that are down on merlot. They clearly don’t drink enough of Bob Foley’s wines. This wine is an example of his excellent skills. This wine has such a lovely bouquet. I could smell this wine for hours. You just know it is going to be good. On the palate, this wine is silky and extremely well balanced. The cherry flavors in this wine would meld with most foods. The finish of this wine is extremely long and sails on for quite some time. The flavors linger as well. I can’t say enough about this excellent merlot. Enjoy - Ken
