Nice piece of Napa history went down tonight to celebrate the upcoming 15th anniversary at Folly Beach SC. Herbal nose. Aged yellow fruit. Poured medium to dark amber color into the glass. An hour gave this one more aromatics. Cashews, peanuts, rosemary, overripe yellow fruits. The entry was surprisingly dense and full bodied. Palate rather equal to the nose. Finishes with a little more acidity than I thought it would. Went well with an eclectic group of tacos which brought out a kinds of things here. β 6 years ago

I loved this so much!! It was even better sipping it on A balcony overlooking Folly Beach! It was so tart and wonderful. β 8 years ago
Delicious as hell! Initially has that weird medicinal / floral Beaujolais thing that freaked me out at first but have grown to love. Then comes the bright, delicious fruit and floral / spice flavors. After open for 30-45 mins can maybe taste some of the banana that my Wine Folly book says may be there. Will be buying a case at some point. β 9 years ago
Very balanced, tastes expensive compared to what we usually drink. Cherries on the nose, strawberry, prunes, cinnamon, spices, pepper. Part of wine folly set. Liked better than the GSM. Good zippy acidity. Would buy again. β 5 years ago
One of 4 wines brought to Folly Beach to enjoy a pre-15th anniversary celebration. Nose of black licorice and young pipe tobacco. Entry is a little bit sweeter, but classic Rioja with terroir driven notes, full bodied black cherry, black licorice, smoked pipe tobacco, brambleberry cola, semi-sweet plums, mint. Definitely more on the full-bodied side. Finishes long with a lot of pepper and flinty character. I honestly think this one has a solid 10 years ahead of it. β 6 years ago
A nose of, well, Pinot! No mistaking this red fruit - raspberry, strawberry - and rose petals. The palate has a touch of darker fruit up front but then lavender, cinnamon and strawberry rhubarb. The finish is medium length. This goes down (a little) easy. β 6 years ago

One of 4 brought out to Folly Beach SC to do a little early 15rh Anniversary celebrating.... One of the best domestic CFs out there IMO. Very consistently good but needs time. And I dare say at 10 years old, this one probably needs another one or two years before it is at the top. Nose of pink and white wildflowers. Entry with young fig & tobacco. Also black cherry, herbs, and fig. Rather brambly and then a touch acidic on the finish which was a bit of a surprise. I'd probably hold these another year or two, but if you are going to drink them at least give it a couple of hours to decant. I think the entire bottle lasted about twenty minutes for us....... β 6 years ago

The wine folly said it was the most manly of the roses so my husband had to try it. We liked the extra body. β 8 years ago
