Grapelive Special Review March 14, 2010 By Kerry Winslow 2007 Dos Lagos Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley The 2007 Dos Lagos is a deep and thickly concentrated Cab with solid structure and fruit intensity with a black/purple hue that coats the glass. The palate is ripe, but focused showing massive black fruits and pure Cabernet character, leading with blackberry, dark currant, plum and blueberries before array of background flavors unfold. Interesting creme de cassis, mocha, cedar spice, cigar tobacco and violet like perfume all come across in layer after layer with powerful tannins holding things together, though thankfully they are not harsh or distracting from the wine and I am sure as it is still a very young wine will fade in time to allow much pleasure over the following 5-10 years. Bob Foley, ex Pride, and maker of top Napa Cabernet like his own Claret, Switchback Ridge and Hourglass seems to have fallen in love with the terroir at this rugged Atlas Peak location, and after tasting this vintage, I think he is on to something big here.

Inaugural Dos Lagos Vineyards Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is Bob Foley's latest project 14 March 2010 by Annette Hanami Dos Lagos Vineyards is the latest of several notable mountain cabernet sauvignon wines Foley has been making for over 25 years including Pride Mountain and Paloma from Spring Mountain and his own label Robert Foley Vineyards from Howell Mountain. Foley has been farming on the eastern ridge for over twenty years and made his name as winemaker at Pride on the western ridge for 15 (as well as owning blocks on Mount Veeder and Diamond Mountain) so he understands the potential power and density of cabs growing at high elevation, rocky sites probably better than anyone else.

Inaugural Dos Lagos Vineyards cab released By David Stoneberg STAFF WRITER, ST HELENA STAR Thursday, March 18, 2010 The white and gray volcanic rock on Tom and Marcie Dinkel's property is called "tuff." It is hard to grow grapes in this ground with the topsoil measuring about four inches, the soil drains quickly and the vines dont get a lot of water. Winemaker Bob Foley describes the terroir and its effect on the four-acre Dos Lagos Vineyards, 1,650 feet up Atlas Peak Road: " Cabernet sauvignon grown in this volcanic tuff series geology produces remarkably expressive wines of profound extraction."
