The story

The story behind Foley Johnson

Foley Johnson was founded in 2012 by Bill Foley and Carol Johnson Foley, on Rutherford soil in Napa Valley. The estate runs the 40 acre Main Ranch, split into 29 distinct blocks, plus the 10 acre Peral Vineyard, all sustainably farmed. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc for depth and structure.

Aging happens in French oak, up to 27 months on the Handmade tiers with a portion new. The Rutherford Estate bottling took 94 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards, and Robb Report named Foley Johnson among the 10 Best Napa Valley Cabernets under $100 in 2025. We have carried this label long enough to watch the tannins soften vintage to vintage.

Open the Cabernet at 60 to 65°F and decant an hour or two; the tannins need the air. Serve it with venison, braised short rib or aged hard cheese.
