2008 Robert Foley Claret....$105.99 
The 2008 is not rated yet, but over the last 8 years, Robert Foley Claret has averaged a 95/100 rating from Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
"Our flagship wine, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is full and rich and utterly even across the palate: side-to-side and front-to-back. Our vineyards on Howell Mountain, Mt Veeder, and Atlas Peak provided structural elements that fit perfectly with the rich middle of the Calistoga Cabernet. Ripe black fruit character combines richly with chocolate and espresso flavors. The balances of fruit, oak, alcohol, extract, and natural acidity draw these flavors and soft fine tannins across the palate and linger there seemingly endlessly – one of my favorite Claret efforts to date." -- winery

2007 Robert Foley Petite Syrah.......$55.99
"The black/purple 2007 Petite Sirah may well be around in 50-60 years, when most of us will be pushing up daisies. In fact, it probably needs to be forgotten for 8-10 years. A massive, pedal-to-the-metal Petite Sirah that looks like pen ink, the wine displays notes of creosote, pepper, spice box, blackberry, and blueberry, with hints of incense and floral undertones. It is dense and almost looks like syrup being poured into a glass. It is obviously not for everybody, as it is certainly a controversial New World wine, but these wines will become more and more civilized as they age, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is spoken of with reverence 40-50 years from now."
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
2008 Robert Foley Charbono.....$33.99
Have you ever tried a wine made from Charbono? This is the one to try!
"The ’08 vintage ripened this variety to perfection and this wine can arm wrestle with the big boys. Grapey, firm and ripe – you can enjoy the ’08 with any kind of cuisine." -- winery
2008 Robert Foley Griffin........$33.99
"Even more powerful than our first Griffin from the ‘07 vintage, the ’08 is a blend of 42% blockbuster Petite Sirah, 40% super-ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% black and soft Charbono, and 8% ripe and round Merlot. This California red wine blend is a mouthful of fruit, which will stand up to any varietal wine and will entice you to break out the barbecue." -- winery
2008 Robert Foley Merlot.....$53.99
"Appealing aromas of black cherry and toasty cinnamon lead to soft, silky plum and cedar flavors, which linger toward supple tannins. Drink now through 2015. 700 cases made. –TF"
Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator
"It is hard to find much better Merlot than Foley’s 2007 Merlot" -- Robert Parker on the previous vintage.
