FOLIO 10th anniversary — 11 years ago
Verdoso 2011 Napa Valley Petite Verdot Every year at FOLIO we split all employees into 3 wine teams. Each team creates a wine: label, story, varietal(s),etc. Luckily, we had the illustrious Tony Coltrin on our team, who made this masterpiece of a wine. 100% PV from the Michael Mondavi Family's Oso Estate on the backside of Howell Mtn.
My 9-yr old daughter, Briley, submitted a painting and it was voted for the label. Here's the copy: "VERDOSO loosely translates to the Green Bear. This mischievous mythological creature is much like the Liger, but more like the tooth fairy, and enters the vineyard in the middle of the night replacing the unripe green berries with ripe mature clusters." — 11 years ago

From the folks who brought you (in label order from top to bottom) Anamoly and Zeitgeist, Hyde de Villaine and Long Meadow Ranch, Terra Valentine, Massican and Larkmead, Hobel and Milton Road Trading Co., lead by a Master Sommelier employed by Dana Estates, previously with Harlan, Bond, and Promontory, and the sell side being handled by a VP of marketing from Michael Mondavi's Folio.
The stated goal was to create the best pound for pound Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa (highest QPR). The band pooled resources and pulled favors, sourcing the grapes from "one of 'those' vineyards" that cannot be named due to a NDA. 18 months in 1-year old French oak. 15% Merlot and 2% Cab Franc round the balance of Cabernet Sauvignon.
I knew going in this would not be an over extracted fruit bomb, but upon opening I had my concerns that this might be too far in the opposite direction. Fortunately, after 30-45 minutes, it started adding weight like a prize fighter after weigh-in. Acacia flowers, melted licorice, black fruit, with plenty on mineral laced, satiny tannin. Give this an hour, wait for your second glass, and it will envelop you. 93+
And for the record, my guess is they sourced the grapes from a Spring Mountain vineyard. — 10 years ago

2012 Malbec - It's a great day at FOLIO today!
This delicious vino has fantastic tension with minerality, energy and rich, ripe crushed blue and red berries with a long finish. This wine will change your mind about Malbec under $20! — 11 years ago
