2002 Foley Santa Rita Rancho Santa Rosa

Thought fer sure I'd posted on this lil' beauty meeny times before but, either I dint, or it's mysteriously dissappeared. Brite med ruby. Berries, smoke, leather, and barnyard all come on the nose. All hit the palate with the addition of sweet spiciness like cinnamon or cardamon. Nice entry, solid center and a most satisfying 4+ lapper finish. Still needs another 1-3 to shed some soft tannins. 90/93 26 by the box. 14% alc. WW ( Just remembered BRW and I had this a couple of Thurs ago and HE was supposed to post. Naturally I forgits it.)

Now that one almost sounds affordable.

Had and enjoyed this at the pre-Wine South private tasting last month. Similar notes, particularly the cinnamon element.
