Today we share the outstanding wines of Foley-Johnson. Bill Foley and his wife, Carol Johnson Foley, had dreamt of opening a winery bearing their name in Napa Valley. They both enjoyed the grandeur of Napa’s scenery and the rhythm of its lifestyle, and, more importantly, the couple loved the opulence and complexity of Napa’s wines. With the launch of Foley Johnson in 2012, the Foleys have created a world-class winery with premier vineyards and a historic tasting room right in the heart of America’s preeminent wine-growing region. I really enjoyed the 2022 ‘Estate’ Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 93) which has terrific viscosity and richness.
