2010 Foley Johnson Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a new project from Bill Foley and his wife, Carol Johnson Foley, working with Mondavi veteran Brad Warner and consulting winemaker David Ramey. The team farms 50 acres of estate vineyards in Rutherford, between Highway 29 and the Napa River, producing this earthy wine with its peaty blackness. Oak dominates the flavors for now, with toast and caramel over the dark tannins and generous, wild strawberry fruit.
