Bob Foley (Pride Mountain, Robert
Foley, Switchback Ridge, School House, Paloma, etc.) is the winemaker of
Hourglass. As one of the elite winemakers in Napa Valley, Bob has worked
his usual magic in crafting these wines. Hourglass elicits his style of
ripe dark fruit concentration, sweet round tannic structure and a long velvety
finish. Throughout Bob's winemaking, he strives for balance, with deep
flavors and supple textures. Bob's approach here is to provide this
stylistic overlay, while bringing forward the vineyard's terroir with a subtle
hand. Elements of eucalyptus, mint, black licorice, and earth are woven
together, while balancing these nuances against the sweet coffee/toffee aromas
of new French oak. The result of his crafting is a deeply complex
wine full of personality and great balance. Bob describes Hourglass
as "more Margaux, feminine and complex." The complexity and subtlety of
Hourglass is a testament to Bob's breadth and skill as one of Napa Valley's
finest winemakers.
